Interior Deb Haaland Secretary is paying his first visit Friday to the new Colorado headquarters from the Land Management Bureau of his department after the relocation of the Capital of the State by Trump’s Administration triggered criticism that the move was intended to start the public tract that oversees landing in the West.
The BLM headquarters has been in the chaos of staff after moving 2019 to the Grand Junction and after four years without a confirmed director.
The interior has planned to move more than 320 headquarters work to the Grand Junction.
But the agency officer recently confirmed that only three workers were finally moved.
Wahyu was first reported by the Colorado Newsline outlet media.
Haaland was reviewing whether the move had to stand up.
Supporters of the steps call it the reorganization that places top agent officials closer to public land which is almost a quarter billion billion billion.
Environmental advocates say weaken agencies that handle fossil fuel extraction, recreation and livestock.
As a member of Congress, Haale opposed the move.
At Grand Junction, Haaland also plans to overcome the government’s preparedness and federal government responses.
Forest fires again went berserk throughout the West; Bootleg Fire South Oregon is one of the biggest in the history of modern state.
Colorado saw the three biggest forest fires at a record last year.
Very dry conditions and hot waves recently related to climate change have made forest fires more difficult to fight for.
Climate change has made the Westerners warmer and more dried in the last 30 years and will continue to make the weather more extreme and forest fires more often and damage.
The forest fires hang-broke more than 10 million hectares (4 million hectares) of land and nearly 18,000 homes and other structures last year, according to federal data and economic research group headwaters.
U official said they would try to spray forest fires as soon as possible to avoid fires such as bootleg fire.
Administration also wants to expand the amount of land where thinning trees, controlled burns and other steps are used to reduce flammable material.
The federal government spends around $ 2 billion to $ 3 billion every year attacking forest fires.
Administration is seeking an increase of almost 40%, to $ 1.7 billion, in additional funds to manage fire hazards through thinning, controlled burns, and related projects.
The Democratic Government of Jared Polis and Congress Delegation Colorado has urged the Biden government to maintain BLM based in the Grand Junction.
US Democratic Senator John Hucyloper, who invited Haaland to visit the Grand Junction, said the relocation of headquarters was “carried out in a hurry” and disappointed the city, who hoped for an economic drive.
The bureau has nearly 10,000 employees, most of them in the field office in the west.
President Joe Biden’s nomination to lead BLM, Tracy Stone-Manning, did not receive the support of the Republic in the Senate Company and the Natural Resource Committee on Thursday’s nomination.
GOP has lamburned the link allegedly Biden for the link to the 1989 environmental sabotage investigation.
Stone Manning will face a full senate voting to become a new director.
Need every Republican Senate plus at least one member of a democratic parliament to prevent confirmation in the space divided evenly.
Haaland, who will be a stone manning boss, reaffirmed his full support for the candidate after the voting on Thursday.
