NOTICE OF EXCHANGE PROPOSAL

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Bureau of Land Management, Utah State Office, 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101.

Notice is hereby given the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the State of Utah, School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (State) are planning to complete an exchange of land in seventeen counties across Utah, as directed in the Emery County Public Land Management – Land Exchange (Section 1255) of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management and Recreation Act, Public Law 116-9 (Dingell Act) (Case File No. UTU-95500FD/PT). The exchange would consolidate land ownership for both the State of Utah and the United States; place mineral interests and valuable conservation and recreation lands within newly created wilderness, recreation, and conservation designations under the Dingell Act into public ownership; and place lands with revenue-producing potential located outside of special management areas into State ownership for the benefit of Utah’s public schools.

Under the exchange, the United States would convey to the State approximately 98,605 acres of Federal lands or interests in land, including about 88,894 acres of surface and mineral estate; about 4,186 acres of surface only estate; about 4,795 acres of mineral only estate; 610 acres of oil & gas-only estate; 120 acres of coal-only estate; and 65 water rights (many of which are pre-1903 diligence claims).  The Federal lands and interests to be exchanged are described as follows:

Additional non-Federal lands or portions thereof may be included in the exchange, if needed to equalize values, and may be selected from non-federal land located in the following:

sec. 5, lots 7 thru 10 and 14 thru 16;

sec. 7, S1/2NE1/4 and SE1/4;

sec. 9, lot 1 and N/1/2NE1/4.

The exchange would be completed on an equal value basis. If the value of the non-Federal land exceeds the value of the Federal land, the values will be equalized by removing non-Federal land from the exchange or through a cash equalization payment made to the State. If the value of the Federal land exceeds the value of the non-Federal land, the values will be equalized by the State conveying certain state trust lands located within wilderness areas or national conservation areas in Washington County, Utah to the United States. If any lands are eliminated based on further analysis, a revised map showing the final exchange parcels will be available for inspection at least 30 days prior to title closing. Subject to valid existing rights, the above-described Federal lands were segregated on the Master Title Plats from mineral location, entry, and patent under the mining laws effective March 12, 2019.  

The Federal and non-Federal lands and interests would be conveyed subject to valid and existing rights and encumbrances of record. Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, a holder of any right-of-way on the Federal lands may be given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way for conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable, or to an easement prior to the issuance of a Federal patent or quit claim deed.  

In accordance with Section 2(a)(2)(ii) of Executive Order 11988, notice is hereby given that portions of the Federal lands may be located within floodplains or to contain wetlands. The effects of conveyance of these parcels, including the potential need for restrictions of future uses under Federal, State, or local regulations, will be evaluated in the environmental analysis for the exchange.  

The exchange parcels are depicted on the map titled “Overview of Utah Proposals – S.47, Natural Resource Management Act’, dated February 28, 2019.  This map and additional information concerning the exchange are available on the Utah BLM website (https://www.blm.gov/programs/lands-realty-and-cadastral-survey/state-lands-and-realty) or may be obtained by contacting the following BLM Offices:
