completion and stimulation practices
will include maps, findings, and
synthesized sets of data that will inform
the BLM’s environmental analysis
documents for subsequent oil and gas
lease sales. It is anticipated that the
information generated by this
assessment will be used to inform the
planning process.
During the scoping process for this
EIS, the high degree of public attention
to oil and gas development will provide
the BLM with input regarding the suite
of oil and gas leasing and development
issues and geographic areas that are of
most concern to the public. The scoping
process will also provide input to assist
the BLM in fully developing a range of
potential RMP amendment alternatives
to address leasing and development and
well completion and stimulation
practices of concern to the public. In
conjunction with the independent
science assessment, the BLM will use
the results of scoping to refine the
geographic scope of the potential plan
amendment. In addition, information
resulting from the planning and science
review will further inform future oil and
gas leasing decisions.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. Preliminary issues
for oil and gas leasing and development
to be addressed within the Hollister
planning area have been identified by
BLM personnel, Federal, State, and local
agencies, and other stakeholders, and
include: surface water, groundwater,
and air quality; greenhouse gases and
climate change; the environmental
effects of chemicals, if any, used; the
potential for induced seismicity;
endangered and threatened species;
public health and safety; and
socioeconomics.
With respect to the potential RMP
amendment, preliminary planning
criteria include:
• The potential plan amendment will
be completed in compliance with
FLPMA, NEPA, and all other Federal
laws, executive orders, and management
policies for the BLM.
• The potential plan amendment will
retain the existing resource condition
goals and objectives in the Hollister
RMP.
• The potential plan amendment will
analyze impacts to areas that are
currently open to leasing and will not
consider opening areas to leasing that
are currently closed.
• The potential plan amendment will
recognize valid existing rights.

You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or

The BLM will follow NEPA public
participation requirements to assist the
agency in satisfying the public
involvement requirements under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C.
470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
The information about historic and
cultural resources within the area
potentially affected by the proposed
action will assist the BLM in identifying
and evaluating impacts to such
resources in the context of both NEPA
and Section 106 of the NHPA.
The BLM will consult with Indian
tribes on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal
concerns, including impacts on Indian
trust assets and potential impacts to
cultural resources, will be duly
considered.
Federal, State, and local agencies,
along with tribes and other stakeholders
that may be interested in or affected by
the proposed action that the BLM is
evaluating, are invited to participate in
the scoping process and, if eligible, may
request or be requested by the BLM to
participate in the development of the
environmental analysis as a cooperating
agency.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
