On
September 6, 2006, the BLM initiated
analysis of the Hiawatha Regional
Energy Development Project by
publishing in the Federal Register a
Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS and
hold an associated scoping period (71
FR 52571). The EIS would have
analyzed the No Action Alternative and
three action alternatives, focused on
achieving full field development in line
with resource concerns.
The original Hiawatha Regional
Energy Development Project proposal,
submitted by Questar Exploration and
Production Company and Wexpro
Company, involved drilling about 4,208
wells and associated infrastructure such
as well pads, production and storage
equipment, and access roads on
approximately 157,361 acres of existing
oil and gas leases managed by BLM
Wyoming and BLM Colorado, the States
of Wyoming and Colorado, and private
landowners in both states over a 20- to
30-year time period. The BLM
administers approximately 143,159
surface acres of the original proposed
project area. The State of Wyoming
manages 6,338 acres, the State of
Colorado manages 4,806 acres, and
private landowners manage 3,058
surface acres.
In 2014, the original proponents
revised their proposal downward to
2,200 vertically, directionally, and
horizontally drilled wells on the same
surface area over a 27- to 81-year period.
Approximately two-thirds of the total
proposed wells would have been in the
Wyoming portion of the project area,
and one-third would have been in the
Colorado portion. In 2016, the
proponents further reduced the proposal
to 449 wells, with all oil and gas
operations located on 47,407 acres in
Wyoming.
The BLM was preparing the Draft EIS
for the Hiawatha Regional Energy
Development Project as revised in 2014,
but halted work when the current
proponents elected to temporarily stop
funding the analysis in 2016. The
proponents canceled the proposal by
letter dated February 5, 2019. Any new
proposal for development in the area
will be subject to National
Environmental Policy Act analysis, and
the existing Hiawatha Programmatic
Agreement for cultural resources would
be amended accordingly. Because the

proponents notified the BLM Rock
Springs Field Office of their decision to
cancel the proposal, the BLM is
canceling the planning process and
terminating its preparation of the Draft
EIS.
