SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM completed the Pinedale RMP in 2008. The purpose of the RMP amendment is to analyze the closure of approximately 5,120 acres to oil and gas leasing in Sublette County, Wyoming. The State of Wyoming has requested that this land be made unavailable for future mineral leasing and development due to its location immediately adjacent to United States Forest Service lands withdrawn from leasing by the Wyoming Range Legacy Act of 2009 and private splitestate lands that the 2008 Pinedale RMP determined not to be available for leasing. In accordance with 43 CFR 1610.5–5, an RMP may be changed through an amendment. An amendment may be initiated by the need to consider monitoring and evaluation findings, new data, new or revised policy, a change in circumstances or a proposed action that may result in a change in the scope of resource uses or a change in the terms, conditions and decisions of the approved plan. 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 planning process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Koch Exploration Company, LLC, and Memorial Resource Development, LLC, propose to drill 348 new natural gas wells within 17,612 acres of public land in the existing Bird Canyon Field, in Lincoln and Sublette counties, Wyoming. Drilling activities would occur over the next 10 to 20 years. The life of the project, including final reclamation, is projected to be approximately 55 years. The wells would be directionally drilled on expansions of existing well pads or on newly constructed multiple-well pads. Average well-pad spacing would be four pads per 640 acres. It is estimated that well pads would initially occupy 3.8 acres, which would then be reclaimed back to 1.1 acres after production facilities are installed. Total estimated initial disturbance for this project, including access roads, well pads and pipelines, is 392 acres. Following interim reclamation, including reclamation of 64 existing pads, total estimated long-term surface disturbance is 20 acres. The proposed project is in an area designated as marginal nonattainment for ozone within the Upper Green River Basin by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in July 2012. Oil and gas development has occurred in the Bird Canyon Field since the 1960s. During that time, 90 wells have been drilled within the project area. Eighteen of those wells have been plugged or shut-in, leaving 72 wells in the field that are actively producing at this time. An EIS will be prepared to analyze the impacts of the proposed project which the RSFO has preliminarily identified as socioeconomics, viewshed qualities, historical and cultural resources, wildlife habitat, air quality, water quality and livestock forage.
