"Gov. Mark Gordon’s administration is preparing a bid to Occidental Petroleum for 1 million acres of surface land and 4 million acres of mineral rights" within the Wyoming Checkerboard. rightshttps://www.wyofile.com/governor-preps-bid-for-occidental-land-leaving-lawmakers-out/
Back in April, we submitted comments about the HMAs in the Checkerboard - where the Bureau wants to 0 out & remove many of the horses. A large portion of land within the planning area is owned by the Anadarko Land Corporation, which was purchased last year by Occidental Petroleum
Occidental then placed the land up for sale and WY is considering its purchase. It is clear that any future sale by Occidental to WY or BLM would impact the planning area and Bureau’s claim that private landowners in the Checkerboard demand the removal of the horses.
