containing more than one well. EOG
would construct up to approximately
700 new well pads and access roads and
would expand approximately 979
existing or previously authorized well
pads. If fully developed, each section
would contain 32 well pads such that
optimal surface density would be one
well pad every 20 acres. EOG would
directionally drill wells to produce from
bottom hole locations spaced at
approximately five to 10 acres.
The project would be supported by
existing produced water disposal and
treatment facilities, produced water
pipelines, natural gas pipelines, and gas
compression and processing facilities.
EOG would construct and install
support facilities where needed,
including new well pad access roads,
new or expanded well pads, new gasgathering lines, and new produced
water-injection wells.
Potential issues include impacts to
local and regional air quality and air
quality related values; surface water and
groundwater resources; floodplains;
cultural and paleontological resources;
soils; special status plant and animal
species; range management; recreation;
and socioeconomics. Alternatives
identified at this time include the
proposed action and the no action
alternative. Additional alternatives will
be developed as a result of issues and
concerns identified through the scoping
process.

2004 GGNCA Resource Management
Plan (RMP) and managed by the GGNCA
and Uncompahgre Field Offices in
Montrose and Delta Counties, Colorado.
The rules implement decisions found in
the RMP and relate to the use of the
lands, conduct, health and safety of
public land users, and protection of
natural resources. The proposed rules
address off-road vehicle use and safety,
firearms, hunting and target shooting,
pets and pack stock use, camping, waste
disposal, group size limits, permit
requirements, and length of stay. These
supplementary rules will be added to
the current rules in effect for the
GGNCA, Gunnison Gorge Wilderness,
and adjacent public lands. The
supplementary rules will be enforced by
BLM law enforcement rangers.
DATES: Please send comments to the
following address by November 9, 2009.
Comments received or postmarked after
this date may not be considered in the
development of the final supplementary
rules.

II. Background
These proposed supplementary rules

approximately 62,844 acres of public
lands that include the 17,784-acre
Gunnison Gorge Wilderness, and 32,937
acres of adjacent public lands managed
under the GGNCA management plan.

Law 106–76 on October 21, 1999.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National
Park to the south. The proposed
supplementary rules will help the BLM
achieve management objectives and
implement decisions in the GGNCA
Resource Management Plan (RMP)
approved on November 12, 2004. These
supplementary rules will also allow the
BLM to increase law enforcement efforts
that will help mitigate damage to
natural resources and provide for public
health and safe public recreation.

Supplementary Rules
These proposed supplementary rules
apply to a total of 95,781 acres of public
lands managed by the BLM within the
GGNCA RMP planning area. The area
