Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 14, 2006 / Notices
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
1997, projected and analyzed a
Reasonable Foreseeable Development
(RFD) scenario of 1,100 oil and gas
wells, with 10 acres of disturbance per
well (including roads and pipelines),
over a 20-year period (approximately 55
wells per year). The RFD projected that
nearly 2/3 of the oil and gas
development activity (or 800 wells)
would take place south of Rangely,
Colorado with the remaining activity
dispersed throughout the remaining
field office area. While this projection
has been fairly accurate for the activity
south of Rangely, the current and
projected oil and gas activity in the
Piceance Basin may soon far exceed the
RFD/EIS impact analysis.
The oil and gas industry has indicated
that the potential exists to develop over
13,000 oil and gas wells in the Piceance
Basin over the next 20 years. The
current WRFO RMP/EIS does not
adequately address this projected level
of oil and gas development. The BLM
has identified some preliminary
planning criteria to guide the
development of the plan. The following
planning criteria have been proposed to
guide the development of the plan, to
avoid unnecessary data collection and
analyses, and to ensure the plan is
tailored to issues. Other criteria may be
identified during the public scoping
process. Proposed planning criteria
include the following:
• The plan will comply with all
applicable laws, regulations and current
policies.
• Broad-based public participation
will be an integral part of the planning
and EIS process.
• The plan will recognize valid
existing rights.
• Environmental protection and
energy production are both desirable
and necessary objectives of sound land
management practices and are not to be
considered mutually exclusive priorities
The BLM will analyze the proposed
action and no action alternatives, as
well as other possible alternatives that
could include alternative approaches to
mitigation measures and/or conditions
of approval for future oil and gas
development in the planning area.
Alternatives will be further defined as
part of the planning process.
Vernon Rholl,
Acting Field Manager.
