The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Cedar City Field Office issued a decision to proceed with emergency stabilization and rehabilitation actions within the footprint of the 2026 Sawmill Fire.
This action follows recent approvals regarding land management and recreation permits in Utah.
In a separate decision, the BLM Moab Field Office issued a categorical exclusion and decision record related to Grand County, Utah. This authorization allows for one new special recreation permit (SRP) and provides augmentations to existing SRPs within the county.
For those seeking more information regarding the Sawmill Fire project, the BLM provided a specific ePlanning link for project details.
The BLM manages approximately 245 million acres of public land across 12 western states to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America's public lands. The agency also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate nationwide.
