Project Description

The Department of Army (Army) has applied for an extension of the Fort Carson-Piñon Canyon Military Lands Withdrawal established by Sec. 2901 of Subtitle A of Public Law 104-201 (P.L.) of September 23, 1996 (110 Stat. 2807) as extended by Public Land Order (PLO) 7783 for an additional 15-year period.  The withdrawal established by P.L. as extended, withdrew 3,133 acres of public lands and 11,415 acres of Federally owned minerals at the Fort Carson Military Reservation, and 2,517 acres of public lands and approximately 130,139 acres of Federally owned minerals at the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site from all forms of appropriation under the public laws, including the mining laws, mineral and geothermal leasing laws, and mineral materials disposal laws, and reserved the lands for use by the Army for military maneuvering, training, and weapons firing, and other defense-related purposes consistent with those specified in the Subtitle A of Title XXIX of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (P.L. 104-201 (Sept 23, 1996)), for a period of 15 years.  The withdrawal extension is necessary to continue protecting the lands and their use by the Army for military readiness purposes.
