Rescind 234,000 acre mineral withdrawal application: renew Twin Metals Leases
- Target:
- Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke
- Region:
- United States of America
- Website:

In March 2016 the Bureau of land Management refused to renew Twin metals Minnesota's two mineral leases of federal lands. In January 2017, federal land management agencies proposed a 234,000 acre withdrawal of National Forest System (NSF) lands within the Rainy River Watershed of the Superior National Forest in Northeastern Minnesota for a 20-year term, immediately placing the area off limits to mineral development for up to two years while the withdrawal application is studied. If the withdrawal application is not rescinded, it will stifle job creation, decimate local economies and cause significant harm to K-12 education in Minnesota. Please sign the Petition and request that Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke rescind the 234,000 acre mineral withdrawal application and renew the two wrongly terminated Twin Metals Minnesota mineral leases.
