"Multiple uses under BLM management include renewable energy development (solar, wind, other); conventional energy development (oil and gas, coal); livestock grazing; hardrock mining (gold, silver, other), timber harvesting; and outdoor recreation (such as camping, hunting, rafting, and off-highway vehicle driving). ... 36 million-acre system of National Conservation Lands (including wilderness areas, wilderness study areas, national monuments, national conservation areas, historic trails, and wild and scenic rivers); protecting wild horse and burro rangeland; conserving wildlife, fish, and plant habitat" Also agriculture. Burning Man's Black Rock City is leased from BLM under an Special Recreation Permit (SRP). ... " crop harvesting, residential occupancy, recreation facilities, construction equipment storage, assembly yards, well pumps, and other uses." So, even though it might be BLM, it could also be under a 50 year lease to a commercial entity, so for all intents and purposes be regarded as private property - like massive solar ( 19 million acres ) and wind ( 20 million acres ) energy farms. I seem to recall a Nevada brothel was at one time operating on BLM land with a lease and permit - pretty much, as long as you don't leave the land damaged and it doesn't interfere with other planned uses, you can get a lease. Just saying, one class isn't going to do it. Mostly, 'exploited', not 'protected'. Michael Patrick Data Ferret
