Mining on National Park Service Lands--What Is at Stake?

Gao ID: EMD-81-119S December 14, 1981

GAO provided a supplement containing an analysis and response to the Department of the Interior's delayed comments on a draft report on mineral exploration and mining claims. GAO reviewed these comments at the request of the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Mines and Mining of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. Interior's comments were received too late to be incorporated into the final report and failed to address all the problems that GAO identified.
