BLM calls off land sales
The Associated Press
The federal government has suspended its decision to auction more than 45,000 acres of public land for oil and gas leases near Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado and Utah.
In all, 55 leaseable parcels in both states are on hold while officials consider protests from environmental groups, said Dwayne Spencer, chief fluid mineral officer of the Colorado office of the Bureau of Land Management. A decision is expected within a couple months, Spencer said March 24.
