construction of about 93 miles of new
roads, construction of 40 miles of
surface pipelines, construction of 90
miles of buried pipelines, and
construction of 33 miles of powerlines.
In all, approximately 2,685 acres would
be disturbed under this alternative. It is
estimated that 1,272 acres would be
subject to interim reclamation.
2. Proposed Action—Under this
alternative, up to 2,808 new gas wells
would be drilled from 233 new well
pads and 960 expanded well pads. This
alternative also includes drilling 3 water
disposal wells, constructing 18 LGS
facilities, constructing about 49 miles of
new roads, constructing 36 miles of
surface pipelines, constructing 90 miles
of buried pipelines, and constructing 33
miles of powerlines. In all,
approximately 2,909 acres would be
disturbed under this alternative. It is
estimated that 410 acres would be
subject to interim reclamation.
3. Resource Protection (BLMpreferred)—Under this alternative, up to
2,808 new gas wells would be drilled
from 162 new well pads and 960
expanded well pads. This alternative
also includes drilling 3 water disposal
wells, constructing 18 LGS facilities,
constructing about 36 miles of new
roads, constructing 23 miles of surface
pipelines, constructing 90 miles of
buried pipelines, and constructing 33
miles of powerlines. In all,
approximately 2,547 acres would be
disturbed under this alternative. It is
estimated that 333 acres would be
subject to interim reclamation.
4. Other Protections—Under this
alternative, up to 2,808 new gas wells
would be drilled from 157 new well
pads and 880 expanded well pads. This
alternative also includes drilling 3 water
disposal wells, constructing 18 LGS
facilities, constructing about 35 miles of
new roads, constructing 102 miles of
buried pipelines, and constructing 33
miles of powerlines. In all,
approximately 2,629 acres would be
disturbed under this alternative. It is
estimated that 435 acres would be
subject to interim reclamation.
5. Alternatives Considered, but
Eliminated from Further Analysis—
Seven alternatives were considered, but
eliminated from further analysis. These
include:
a. Use of Produced Water for
Waterflood Projects: A possible
alternative would require that produced
water be treated, sold, and transported
for use in oil field waterflood operations
in adjacent fields (the Chapita project
itself is not an oil field waterflood
project). This alternative would require
the construction of treatment and
transportation facilities, or the treated

water would have to be transported by
truck. Either way, this alternative would
result in effects greater than the
Proposed Action, so it was dismissed
from detailed analysis.
b. All Project Wells would be
Connected to the LGS: A Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission-delineated
jurisdictional boundary divides the
Chapita project area between power
suppliers Moon Lake Electric and Rocky
Mountain Power. EOG has contracted
with Rocky Mountain Power and is
obligated to use that power solely
within Rocky Mountain Power’s
jurisdiction boundary. Also, EOG’s
current Proposed Action connects as
many wells to the electrified LGS as is
feasible based on available power, so
further expansion of the LGS would
require the construction and operation
of large hydrocarbon-fueled compressor
and generator engines. Therefore, this
alternative is technically and
economically unfeasible and would
result in effects greater than the
Proposed Action, so it was dismissed
from detailed analysis.
c. All Field Facilities would be
Electrified: This alternative was not
carried forward for the same reasons as
the previous alternative, ‘‘All Project
Wells would be Connected to the LGS.’’
d. Field-Wide Electrification Using
Solar Panel Generation: A solar panel
facility sufficient to generate the power
needed to electrify the Chapita project
area (an estimated 40 megawatts), would
cover about 200 acres. The cost would
be an estimated $300 million. In
addition, backup power via gas-fired
generators would be needed. Therefore,
this alternative is technically and
economically unfeasible and would
result in effects greater than the
Proposed Action, so it was dismissed
from detailed analysis.
e. New Roads Limited to a 14-foot
running surface: Because of vehicle
safety concerns (safe passing width and
road stability issues) this alternative was
dismissed from detailed analysis.
f. New Wellheads within the White
River Viewshed would be Placed Below
Ground: Alternative D would preclude
further surface disturbance within the
100-year floodplain of the White River
by prohibiting new wells or well pads
within 0.5 mile or line-of-sight of the
White River. This alternative is not
analyzed in detail in this EIS because it
is sufficiently similar to the other
protections.
g. Full Field Development: EOG’s
original proposal included drilling up to
7,028 wells over a 15-year period. When
the issue of high concentrations of
winter-time ground level ozone in the
Uinta Basin was recognized, EOG

reduced its well count (among other
commitments) to reduce emission of
pollutants, in particular ozone
precursors. This alternative would
result in effects greater than the
Proposed Action. Accordingly, it was
dismissed from detailed analysis.
The public is encouraged to comment
on any of these alternatives. The BLM
asks that those submitting comments
make them as specific as possible with
reference to chapters, page numbers,
and paragraphs in the Draft EIS
document. Comments that contain only
opinions or preferences will not receive
a formal response; however, they will be
considered, and included, as part of the
BLM decision-making process. The most
useful comments are those that contain
new technical or scientific information,
identify data gaps in the impact
analysis, or provide a technical or
scientific rationale for opinions or
preferences.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comments, please be aware that your
entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

State Director.
