President Biden will issue a presidential proclamation Tuesday establishing a new national monument to protect nearly 1 million acres of land around the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona.
By establishing this area as a national monument, the Biden administration will effectively ban any new uranium and other hard-rock mining leases in the area. But more than 3,000 mining leases that existed before 2012 — when a 20-year pause on new leases was put in place by the Obama administration — will be allowed to continue.
The officials also said no private property or already-established hunting, fishing and grazing land will be impacted by the new national monument. Haaland also said this national monument will honor the hard work by Havasupai tribal leaders to preserve their ancestral homelands after they were"driven out" by the federal government in 1919 to form the Grand Canyon National Park.
