Interior Secretary bans new mining in South Dakota’s Black Hills for 20 years to protect water and land.
The U.S. government has banned new mining activities for 20 years in a 32-square-mile area of South Dakota's Black Hills, including the Pactola Reservoir.
This decision follows public opposition to a drilling proposal by F3 Gold and aims to protect clean drinking water and preserve the area's ecological, recreational, and cultural significance.
The ban, approved by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, covers 20,510 acres of National Forest land and can be renewed but not made permanent without Congressional action.
