The move by the current administration to secure dams in the northwest must also be extended to secure the Glen Canyon Dam. Radical environmentalists have increased their efforts to dismantle the dam and drain Lake Powell— which provides clean, renewable energy to six states, supplies critical water to cities and farms throughout the southwest, and supports recreation and tourism critical to rural communities.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently considering the Miller Mountain Land Exchange in Wyoming, which proposes to trade away 1,802 acres of pristine mountain riverfront public land to a private corporation in exchange for lower quality desert lands along a separate river.

We are asking the public to comment against this against proposal, which can be done with the form at the end of this article. While the proposal began in 2015, BLM seems to have recently acted in haste to get this proposal approved. As such, the comment period closes this Wednesday, June 11th! So, don’t delay in submitting comments below.

Below you will find a brief history of the project and why BlueRibbon Coalition supports the USFS proposal.
