Public Land Order No. 7910; Extension of Public Land Order No. 
7533; Withdrawal of National Forest System Land for the Holden Mine 
Reclamation Project, Washington

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Public land order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order extends the duration of the withdrawal created by 
Public Land Order (PLO) No. 7533 for an additional 20-year period. PLO 
No. 7533 withdrew 1,265 acres of National Forest System lands in the 
Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest from location and entry under the 
United States mining laws for a period of 20 years to protect the 
Holden Mine Reclamation Project. Under that project, the United States 
Forest Service is remediating the release of hazardous substances under 
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability 
Act, including undertaking infrastructure improvements and capital 
investments. A Federal Register notice published on October 27, 2021, 
corrected the legal land description and acreage figure (from 1,265 
acres to 1,285 acres) stated in PLO No. 7533. The withdrawal extension 
is necessary to continue protecting the Holden Mine Reclamation Project 
in Chelan County, Washington. Without the extension, the protection 
afforded by the withdrawal expires on August 5, 2022.

DATES: This PLO takes effect on August 6, 2022.
