The plans are in place to provide a management framework that balances the development of more than 3 million acres of federal mineral estate with protection for natural resources, cultural properties and special areas. – As part of the Department of the Interior’s commitment to responsible and balanced domestic energy development, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) today announced the completion of the Dinosaur Trail and Shale Ridges and Canyons Master Leasing Plans (MLPs) in Northwest Colorado.
