Public Land Order No. 7970; Extension of Public Land Order No. 7668, Utah Lake Drainage Basin and Diamond Fork Systems, Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project, Utah

This Public Land Order (PLO) extends, for an additional 20- year term, the withdrawal established by PLO No. 7668, which would otherwise expire on July 26, 2026. The extension is necessary to prevent uses that could conflict with the operation of the Utah Lake Drainage Basin and Diamond Fork Systems, Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project, which supports Utah's irrigation, municipal, industrial, hydroelectric, conservation, and recreation needs. The lands have been, and will remain, open to mineral leasing and to all other uses legally authorized on National Forest System lands.
