The Pactola Reservoir—Rapid Creek
subwatershed boundary described
within this land description was
derived from GIS and used for
convenience in computing acreage. This
subwatershed is also known as
Hydrological Unit Code (HUC)
101201100110. This land description
intends to include all public lands
administered by the USFS within this
subwatershed. The actual boundary is
intended to be the location of said
subwatershed as it exists on the ground.
The areas described aggregate
approximately 20,574 acres.
The purpose for the withdrawal
requested by the USFS is to protect the
cultural and natural resources of the
Pactola Reservoir—Rapid Creek
Watershed, including municipal water
for Rapid City and Ellsworth Air Force
Base, from the adverse impacts of
minerals exploration and development.
The use of a right-of-way, interagency
agreement, or cooperative agreement
would not provide adequate protection
of cultural and natural resources.
No additional water rights will be
needed to fulfill the purpose of the
requested withdrawal.
There are no suitable alternative sites,
as the described lands contain the
resource values that need protection.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Notice is hereby given that the USFS
and the BLM will hold a joint public
meeting in connection with the
withdrawal application on Wednesday,
April 26, 2023, from 4–8 p.m. MT, at the
Best Western Ramkota Hotel,
Conference Hall, 2111 N. LaCrosse St.,
Rapid City, SD 57701. The USFS will
publish a notice of the time and place
in a local newspaper at least 30 days
before the scheduled date of the
meeting. During the 90-day comment
period, the BLM and USFS will hold
additional meetings in other areas of the
State, notices of which will be provided

For a period until March 21, 2025, the
NFS lands described earlier will be
segregated from settlement, sale,
location, or entry under the public land
laws, location and entry under the
United States mining laws, and leasing
under the mineral and geothermal
leasing laws, subject to valid existing
rights, unless the application is denied
or canceled, or the withdrawal is
approved prior to that date.
Licenses, permits, cooperative
agreements, or discretionary land use
authorizations of a temporary nature
may be allowed with the approval of the
authorized officer of the USFS during
the temporary segregation period if they
would comply with applicable USFS
land use plans for public lands and NFS
lands located within the requested
withdrawal boundary.
The application will be processed in
accordance with the regulations set
forth in 43 CFR part 2300.
