| 00-12496 | Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement; Desolation Flats Natural Gas Development Project, Carbon and Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming, To Conduct a Planning Review of the Proposed Project Area, and if Necessary, Amend Either or Both the Great Divide and Green River Resource Management Plans | Notice | Under section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Rawlins Field Office, will direct the preparation of an EIS on the potential impacts of a proposed natural gas field development project. Approximately 385 gas wells and associated facilities could be constructed on approximately 229,781 acres of primarily Federal land (some private and State included), over a 20-year development period. The project area is located in southwestern Carbon County and southeastern Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The proposed action may be modified, as a result of comments received during scoping or anytime during the preparation of the draft EIS, to include actions that may, upon review, require a plan amendment to the Green River and Great Divide Resource Management Plans. A planning review of existing land- use decisions would be conducted. Additionally an evaluation of potential relevant and important resource values in the Desolation Flats project area portion of the Monument Valley Management Area of the Rock Springs Field Office would be done. Any needed changes in existing management or any new management actions to be prescribed for the area will be identified and, if necessary, the Green River RMP amended. In accordance with 43 CFR 3420.1-2, this notice also serves as a call for coal and other resource information to solicit indications of interest and information on coal resource development potential in the proposed project area and on other resources which may be affected by the proposed project. Affected Federal lands are administered by the BLM Rawlins and Rock Springs Field Offices. The EIS will be prepared by a third-party contractor. | 2000-05-18 | 2000 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/05/18/00-12496/notice-of-intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-desolation-flats-natural-gas | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-05-18/pdf/00-12496.pdf | Interior Department; Land Management Bureau | 253,275 | Under section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Rawlins Field Office, will direct the preparation of an EIS on the potential impacts of a proposed natural gas field... |
