ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice advises the public
that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA),
in cooperation with the Eastern
Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes,
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), intends to gather information
necessary for preparing an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for drilling additional coalbed natural
gas wells and conventional gas wells in
the Riverton Dome Field, Wind River
Indian Reservation, Fremont County,
Wyoming. The purpose of the proposed
action is to meet the Tribes’ need to
maximize their economic benefit from
this trust resource. This notice also
announces a public scoping meeting to
identify potential issues and alternatives
to be considered in the EIS.
DATES: Written comments on the scope
of the EIS or implementation of the
proposal must arrive by October 28,
2005.
The public scoping meeting will be
held October 12, 2005, from 7 p.m. to
9:30 p.m., or until the last public
comment is received.
ADDRESSES: You may mail or hand carry
written comments to Ramon A. Nation,
Deputy Superintendent, Trust Services,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Wind River
Agency, P.O. Box 158, Fort Washakie,
Wyoming 82514.

The
Riverton Dome Coalbed Natural Gas
(CBNG) and Conventional Gas
Development Project area is located in
Township 1S, Range 4E, Sections 13, 14,
23, 24, 25, 26, 35 and 36; Township 2S,
Range 5E, Sections 1, 2, 11 and 12;
Township 1S, Range 5E, Sections 17, 18,
19, 20, 29, 30, 31, and 32; and Township
2S, Range 5E, Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8, in
the southeast corner of the Wind River
Indian Reservation. The project area
consists of approximately 13,804 acres,
of which 12,632 are tribal and 1,172 are
non-tribal surface and minerals.
The proposed action consists of
drilling up to 336 CBNG and 20
conventional gas wells over the next 10
years, with a life-of-project of 20 to 40
years. Approximately 46 of the CBNG
wells and 15 of the conventional wells
would be drilled on existing pads.
Economic conditions and the evaluation
of the drilling results would determine
the actual number of wells that would
be drilled. In addition, the project
would require 9000hp of new
compression, and may require up to
88.8 miles of rights-of-way for
construction of flow lines, access roads
and power lines.
The initial disturbance from
construction of well pads and
compressor stations and construction
within rights-of-way is estimated to be
1,081 acres, or 7.8 percent of the project
area. Long-term disturbance after
reclamation is anticipated to be 592
acres, or 4.3 percent of the project area.
These disturbance values are based on
40-acre spacing. Initial and residual
disturbance at 80-acre spacing would be
611 and 329 acres, respectively.
Each CBNG well may initially
produce approximately 500 barrels of
water per day, which is expected to
decline rapidly. The three water
disposal options in order of priority are:
(1) Evaporation pit water disposal, (2)
underground injection well disposal,
and (3) surface discharge. The permits
for the evaporation pit and deep well
disposal of produced water have been
approved. A permit application for
surface discharge has been filed with,
and is being reviewed by the EPA.
The Riverton Dome Field currently
contains 55 oil and gas wells and 3
CBNG wells. In addition, the BIA has
approved a CBNG Pilot Project, in
which up to 20 CBNG wells may be
drilled. Some of these wells may be
drilled within the proposed project area
while the Riverton Dome environmental
analysis is being conducted. The
drilling program will be monitored by
the BIA and BLM to ensure that
activities do not adversely affect the
environment or prejudice the

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains and associated funerary objects
in the possession of Alma College,
Alma, MI. The human remains and
associated funerary object were removed
from Gratiot County, MI.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2005 / Notices
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary object. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Alma College
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Saginaw
Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan.
On March 13, 1920, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a burial
in sec. 5, T. 11 N., R. 3 W. (site
20GR287), Arcada Township, in Gratiot
County, MI, by an unknown individual
and subsequently donated to Alma
College. No known individual was
identified. The one associated funerary
object is a pontel glass bottle that dates
to circa 1740–1780.
The location of the site is consistent
with the historically documented
territory of the Saginaw Chippewa
Indian Tribe of Michigan during the
18th and 19th centuries.
Officials of Alma College have
determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (9–10), the human remains
described above represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Officials of Alma
College also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the
one object described above is reasonably
believed to have been placed with or
near individual human remains at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of
Alma College have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is
a relationship of shared group identity
that can be reasonably traced between
the Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects and the
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of
Michigan.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains and
associated funerary object should
contact Mary Theresa Bonhage-Freund,
Department of Sociology and
Anthropology, Alma College, 614 W.
Superior, Alma, MI 48801, telephone
(989) 463–7186, before October 27,
2005. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary object
to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe
of Michigan may proceed after that date
if no additional claimants come
forward.
