Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 59 / Friday, March 27, 2015 / Notices
Under the No Action Alternative in
the Final EIS, the proposed lease and
mine plan modifications and special use
authorizations would not be approved,
and mining would continue under the
current mine plan as approved by the
2008 RODs. Under the No Action
Alternative, Simplot estimates that
approximately 50 percent of the
phosphate ore in Panel G, previously
considered economically recoverable,
would not be mined but the overall
disturbance would remain unchanged
from the 2008 mine plan approval. In
addition, the proposed conveyor system
would not be approved, thus no new
disturbance associated with the
conveyor would occur. The previously
approved geologic store and release
cover would be used to limit or prevent
the release of contaminants to the
environment.
A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare
this EIS was published in the Federal
Register on June 24, 2013. Publication
of the NOI in the Federal Register
initiated a 30-day public scoping period
for the Proposed Action that provided
for acceptance of written comments.
The scoping process identified concerns
that primarily involved impacts to water
resources and watersheds, and selenium
contamination, but also included
potential effects and/or cumulative
effects of the proposed project on IRAs,
wetlands, climate change,
socioeconomics, visual resources, and
mitigation and monitoring for mine
operations.
The NOA for the Draft EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
May 30, 2014. A 45-day comment
period on the Draft EIS commenced
with publication of the Environmental
Protection Agency’s NOA of the Draft
EIS, and ended on July 15, 2014.
Agencies, organizations, and interested
parties provided comments on the Draft
EIS via mail, email, and public
meetings. A total of seven comment
letters were received. In developing
responses to these comments, the
agencies have added mitigation features
to the Proposed Action and Alternatives
1 and 2 in the Final EIS, for example:
• An Adaptive Management Plan was
added as an appendix, which addresses
potential surface water and groundwater
quality issues through an adaptive
approach.
• A fourth wildlife crossing was
incorporated into the design of the ore
conveyor system at the Sage Creek
drainage.

• Access to a series of proposed
stormwater ponds at Panel G was
revised to be south from the mine rather
than north from the Wells Canyon Road,
eliminating a segment of access road
that would have impacted a small
wetland area.
• Because the segment of access road
to the proposed series of stormwater
ponds was eliminated, disturbance and
associated impacts to waters of the U.S.,
including wetlands, were eliminated.
Therefore, a revised U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers permit would not be required.
• Additional water quality data were
added to the Final EIS.
• Specific information regarding the
timing and construction of the GCLL
was added to the Final EIS.
The portion of the proposed project
related to USFS special use
authorizations for off-lease activities is
subject to the objection process
pursuant to 36 CFR 218 Subparts A and
B. Instructions for filing objections will
be provided in the legal notice
published in the newspaper of record
for the Draft USFS ROD. Objections will
be accepted only from those who have
previously submitted specific written
comments regarding the proposed
project either during scoping or other
designated opportunities for public
comment in accordance with 36 CFR
218.5(a). Issues raised in objections
must be based on previously submitted,
timely, and specific written comments
regarding the proposed project unless
based on new information arising after
designated opportunities. The portion of
any subsequent decision issued by BLM
regarding the proposed mine plan and
lease modifications would be appealable
under procedures found in 43 CFR 4.
Please note that public comments and
information submitted including names,
street addresses, and email addresses of
respondents will be available for public
review and disclosure at the BLM
Pocatello Field Office during regular
business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.),
Monday through Friday, except

The BLM
prepared the WRFO Oil and Gas
Development Proposed RMP
Amendment/Final EIS to evaluate and
amend the current management
decisions for oil and gas resources
within the WRFO planning area. The
current management decisions for oil
and gas resources are described in the
White River Record of Decision and
Approved Resource Management Plan
(RMP), approved July 1, 1997, as
amended (1997 WRFO RMP).
The Proposed RMP Amendment/Final
EIS addresses public lands and
resources managed by the WRFO. The
WRFO planning area includes
approximately 2.7 million acres of BLM,
National Park Service, U.S. Forest
Service, State, and private lands located
in northwestern Colorado, primarily in
Rio Blanco County, with additional
tracts located in Moffat and Garfield
counties. Within the WRFO planning
area, the BLM administers
approximately 1.5 million surface acres
and 2.2 million acres of Federal
subsurface mineral estate. Surface
management decisions made as a result
of this planning effort will apply only to
the BLM-administered lands in the
WRFO planning area. The BLM decided
to update the 1997 WRFO RMP because
the 2007 Reasonable Foreseeable
Development Scenario identified
substantial changes in the way oil and
gas development is expected to proceed
in the planning area compared to what
was considered in the 1997 WRFO RMP.
Changes include an increase in the
number of wells to be drilled, a
transition from single well pads to
multi-well pads, and a shift in the
location of development to the
Mesaverde Play Area.

The purpose of the WRFO Proposed
RMP Amendment/Final EIS is to
provide effective management direction
for public lands administered by the
WRFO based on an analysis of oil and
gas exploration and development
activities in excess of levels evaluated in
the 1997 WRFO RMP. During the
development of the RMP Amendment,
the BLM reviewed the decisions
contained in the 1997 WRFO RMP.
None of the alternatives analyzed for
this amendment considered the creation
of new special designations or changes
to areas currently open or closed to oil
and gas leasing in the 1997 WRFO
approved RMP because this amendment
is entirely focused on addressing oil and
gas development.
The Draft RMP Amendment/EIS
evaluated four alternatives in detail
including, the No Action Alternative
(Alternative A) and three action
alternatives (Alternatives B, C and D).
Based on the impacts analysis and
public comment on the Draft RMP
Amendment, the BLM selected various
parts of Alternatives A, B, C and D to
develop the Proposed RMP Amendment
(Alternative E) in the Final EIS.
The Proposed RMP Amendment,
Alternative E, considers impacts and
management actions associated with
potential development of 15,040 wells
on 1,100 well pads with an associated
surface disturbance of 13,200 acres.
Alternative E incorporates the managed
development approach from
Alternatives B and C. The Proposed
RMP Amendment includes the Dinosaur
Trail Master Leasing Plan in the
northwest corner of the field office and
a plan for phased leasing within that
area.
The Proposed RMP Amendment also
provides management direction for
more than 300,000 acres of inventoried
lands with wilderness characteristics;
these areas would be managed at one of
three levels depending upon whether or
not wilderness characteristics were the
primary management focus in an area.
Because this planning effort is an
amendment and not a full RMP revision,
changes in management were limited to
only those decisions related to oil and
gas development. However, because oil
and gas development has the potential
to impact other resources, the BLM
developed management actions
designed to reduce impacts to a variety
of resources, including air and water

quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM prepared the WRFO Oil and Gas
Development Proposed RMP Amendment/Final EIS to evaluate and amend the
current management decisions for oil and gas resources within the WRFO
planning area. The current management decisions for oil and gas
resources are described in the White River Record of Decision and
Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP), approved July 1, 1997, as
amended (1997 WRFO RMP).
The Proposed RMP Amendment/Final EIS addresses public lands and
resources managed by the WRFO. The WRFO planning area includes
approximately 2.7 million acres of BLM, National Park Service, U.S.
Forest Service, State, and private lands located in northwestern
Colorado, primarily in Rio Blanco County, with additional tracts
located in Moffat and Garfield counties. Within the WRFO planning area,
the BLM administers approximately 1.5 million surface acres and 2.2
million acres of Federal subsurface mineral estate. Surface management
decisions made as a result of this planning effort will apply only to
the BLM-administered lands in the WRFO planning area. The BLM decided
to update the 1997 WRFO RMP because the 2007 Reasonable Foreseeable
Development Scenario identified substantial changes in the way oil and
gas development is expected to proceed in the planning area compared to
what was considered in the 1997 WRFO RMP. Changes include an increase
in the number of wells to be drilled, a transition from single well
pads to multi-well pads, and a shift in the location of development to
the Mesaverde Play Area.
The purpose of the WRFO Proposed RMP Amendment/Final EIS is to
provide effective management direction for public lands administered by
the WRFO based on an analysis of oil and gas exploration and
development activities in excess of levels evaluated in the 1997 WRFO
RMP. During the development of the RMP Amendment, the BLM reviewed the
decisions contained in the 1997 WRFO RMP. None of the alternatives
analyzed for this amendment considered the creation of new special
designations or changes to areas currently open or closed to oil and
gas leasing in the 1997 WRFO approved RMP because this amendment is
entirely focused on addressing oil and gas development.
The Draft RMP Amendment/EIS evaluated four alternatives in detail
including, the No Action Alternative (Alternative A) and three action
alternatives (Alternatives B, C and D). Based on the impacts analysis
and public comment on the Draft RMP Amendment, the BLM selected various
parts of Alternatives A, B, C and D to develop the Proposed RMP
Amendment (Alternative E) in the Final EIS.
The Proposed RMP Amendment, Alternative E, considers impacts and
management actions associated with potential development of 15,040
wells on 1,100 well pads with an associated surface disturbance of
13,200 acres. Alternative E incorporates the managed development
approach from Alternatives B and C. The Proposed RMP Amendment includes
the Dinosaur Trail Master Leasing Plan in the northwest corner of the
field office and a plan for phased leasing within that area.
The Proposed RMP Amendment also provides management direction for
more than 300,000 acres of inventoried lands with wilderness
characteristics; these areas would be managed at one of three levels
depending upon whether or not wilderness characteristics were the
primary management focus in an area.
Because this planning effort is an amendment and not a full RMP
revision, changes in management were limited to only those decisions
related to oil and gas development. However, because oil and gas
development has the potential to impact other resources, the BLM
developed management actions designed to reduce impacts to a variety of
resources, including air and water quality, soils, vegetation, wildlife
habitat, special status plant habitat, wild horses, cultural resources,
paleontological resources, visual resources, forestry and woodlands,
livestock grazing, minerals, recreation, travel management, realty, and
special designations.

Final EIS are available for public inspection at the Web site listed

emailed protest as an advance copy and it will receive full
consideration. If you wish to provide the BLM with such advance
notification, please direct emails to protest@blm.gov. All protests,
including the follow-up letter to emails, must be in writing and mailed
to the appropriate address as set forth in the ADDRESSES section above.
