The Notice announced the beginning of
the scoping process for solicitation of
input on the identification of issues and
evaluation of the effects of the proposed

message or question. You will receive a
reply during normal business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
applicant, Crescent Point Energy, had
filed a plan of development for their
Federal, State, private, and tribal trust
leases. Crescent Point proposed to drill
up to 3,925 new oil and gas wells and
build 863 miles of roads; 693 miles of
pipelines co-located with the proposed
roads; 170 miles of cross-country
pipelines; 400 miles of trunk pipelines;
5 salt water disposal wells; 5 produced
water treatment facilities; 20 central
tank batteries; 4 gas processing plants; 8
oil storage areas; and 4 equipment
storage areas. Since the BLM published
a NOI in the Federal Register (81 FR
20668), the applicant has acquired
significant additional assets, changed its
drilling techniques, and revised its
corporate strategy such that the original
proposed action no longer reflects its
plans for the project area. In accordance
with the applicant’s December 12, 2018,
request, the BLM is terminating the EIS
in accordance with BLM Manual
Handbook H–1790–1 Section 9.8.
