Bill overview
This bill, the Save Oak Flat Act, repeals a provision in the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act that would have transferred 2,422 acres of Forest Service land in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest, known as Oak Flat, to Resolution Copper for a mining project. The bill aims to protect Oak Flat, which is considered sacred by numerous Native American tribes and is a significant cultural and historical site. It also addresses concerns about the environmental impact of the proposed mining operation and the lack of proper legislative process in including the provision in the defense authorization act.
