HR 6869 United States House · 118th Congress

To withdraw certain land within the San Bernardino National Forest in California from location, entry, and patent under mining laws, and for other purposes.

HR 6869 withdraws approximately 3,055 acres (2,775 federal and 280 non-federal acres) within the San Bernardino National Forest in California from all mining-related activities under federal law. This withdrawal directly affects land within the designated area, preventing new mining claims, operations, and mineral leasing on that specific land. The bill aims to preserve habitat for four listed threatened and endangered plant species by blocking mineral development and other public land entry under mining laws. The withdrawal takes effect upon enactment for federal land and when non-federal land is acquired by the U.S. government.
