Interesting article about some of the potential consequences of the reduction of the Utah Monuments:

Starting at 6 a.m. on Feb. 2 – the moment Trump’s proclamation reducing the size of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments takes effect – private citizens and companies will be allowed to stake claims for hard rock mining in a process governed by the General Mining Law of 1872, according to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Available for mining claims since 1872. Designated NM for a few months in 2017. Back to same designation since 1872.

What's the issue or is this monsters under the bed hysteria?
