Notice of Intent To Prepare an

the Continental Divide—Creston

Bureau of Land Management,

ACTION: Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) and to conduct public scoping for
the Continental Divide—Creston Natural
Gas Project, Carbon and Sweetwater
Counties, Wyoming.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Under section 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA), the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), Rawlins Field
Office, announces its intent to prepare
an EIS on the potential impacts of a
proposed natural gas development
project consisting primarily of
conventional natural gas well
development with some coalbed natural
gas wells.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:43 Mar 02, 2006
Jkt 208001
In April 2005, Devon Energy
Corporation (Devon), representing itself
and other lease holders, submitted to
BLM a proposal to drill and develop up
to 1,250 wells from an estimated 1,000
well pads and associated facilities. The
Devon proposal was named ‘‘Creston/
Blue Gap II Natural Gas Project.’’ The
BLM published its NOI to prepare an
EIS for this project in the Federal
Register on September 8, 2005.
In November 2005, BP America
Production Company (BP), representing
itself and other lease holders, submitted
a proposal to drill and develop up to
7,700 wells and associated facilities
within a portion of the Continental
Divide/Wamsutter II (CD/W2) Natural
Gas Project area adjacent to the Creston/
Blue Gap II EIS (CBC2) project area.
Upon reviewing BP’s proposal the BLM
determined that the CD/W2 proposal
and the CBC2 proposal were similar
actions within the same geographic area,
with similar timing. Based on these
factors, the BLM has determined that
the best way to analyze these actions
and identify their cumulative impacts
adequately is to treat them in a single
impact statement. The combined
proposals, henceforth known as the
Continental Divide—Creston (CDC)
Natural Gas Project, will be considered
in one EIS.
DATES: This notice initiates the public
scoping process. The BLM can best use
public input if comments and resources
information are submitted within 60
days of the publication of this notice. To
provide the public with an opportunity
to review the proposal and project
information, the BLM will host a
scoping meeting in Rawlins, Wyoming.
The BLM will notify the public of the
meeting date, time, and location at least
15 days prior to the event.
Announcement will be made by news
release to the media, individual letter
mailings, and posting on the BLM Web
site listed below, if it is available.
ADDRESSES: Please send written
comments or resource information to
the Bureau of Land Management,
Rawlins Field Office, Eldon Allison,
Team Leader, 1300 North Third Street,
Rawlins, Wyoming 82301. Electronic
mail may be sent to:
rawlins_wymail@blm.gov. The scoping
notice will be posted on the Wyoming
BLM NEPA Web page at https://
www.wy.blm.gov/nepa/nepadocs.htm.
Prior comments submitted in
response to the September 8, 2005, NOI
for the CBG2 EIS will be considered
along with comments received from the
CDC EIS scoping. If you have submitted
comments in response to the CBG2 EIS
and would like to supplement them in

supplemental comments during the
public scoping period for CDC Natural
Gas Development EIS. In your submittal
please note that you have provided
comments or resource information
during the initial scoping period for the
CBG2 EIS.
All responses will be considered in
the environmental analysis process. If
you do respond, we will keep you

this analysis. Please note that public
comments and information submitted
regarding this project, including names
and email and street addresses of the
respondents, will be available for public
review and disclosure at the above
address during regular business hours
(7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) Monday through

or businesses, and from individuals
identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
