SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the BLM Lander Field Office announces its intent to prepare an EIS on the potential impacts of a proposed natural gas field development, ancillary facilities, pipelines and roads. The project area is located in Fremont and Natrona Counties, Wyoming, and encompasses approximately 146,000 acres of land, the majority of which is public land administered by the BLM Lander Field Office. A small portion of the project area is administered by the BLM Casper Field Office. In January 2008, oil and gas operators and proponents of the project, EnCana Oil & Gas (USA), Inc. (EnCana), Burlington Resources Oil and Gas Company LP (Burlington), and Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble) submitted a proposal to the BLM to develop approximately 1,470 wells near Lysite, Wyoming. The proposed project area consists of three units operated by three different companies: the Gun Barrel Federal Exploratory Unit (Encana), the Madden Deep Federal Exploratory Unit (Burlington), and the Iron Horse Federal Exploratory Unit (Noble). The purpose of the proposal is to continue extracting and developing natural gas within these three units during a ten to fifteen year period. The proponents estimate that within the Gun Barrel Unit, an additional 750 natural gas wells may be drilled; within the E:\FR\FM\05JNN1.SGM 05JNN1 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 109 / Thursday, June 5, 2008 / Notices Madden Deep Unit, approximately 300 wells may be drilled; and within the Iron Horse Unit, approximately 420 wells may be drilled.

Produced water would be reinjected in some instances, and disposed of through the use of surface facilities in other instances. Major issues identified at this time include: potential impacts to air quality; disposal of produced waste water; and potential effects of development and production on surface resources including vegetation and wildlife habitat.
