DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

[UT080–1310–00] 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement on 

Inland Resources Inc., Castle Peak and 

Eight Mile Flat Oil & Gas Expansion 

Project, Uintah County, UT

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

SUMMARY: Under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) and implementing regulations, 

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

announces the availability of The Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

for the proposed Inland Resources Inc., 

Castle Peak and Eight Mile Flat Oil & 

Gas Expansion Project. The DEIS 

analyzes and discloses to the public 

direct, indirect and cumulative 

environmental impacts of proposed 

expansion of existing waterflood oil 

recovery operations in the Monument 

Butte production region. The proponent 

proposes to drill up to 900 additional 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 195 / Friday, October 8, 2004 / Notices 60419

wells by the year 2015. Two additional 

alternatives to the proposed action are 

also analyzed.

DATES: Written comments on the Inland 

Resources Inc., Castle Peak and Eight 

Mile Flat Oil & Gas Expansion Project 

DEIS will be accepted for 45 days 

following the date the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) publishes this 

Notice of Availability in the Federal 

Register. Future public meetings and 

any other public involvement activities 

will be announced at least 15 days in 

advance through public notices, media 

news releases, the BLM Vernal Field 

Office Web site at http://www.blm.gov/

utah/vernal and/or mailings. 

The BLM asks that those submitting 

comments on the DEIS make them as 

specific as possible with references to 

page numbers and chapters of the 

document. Comments that contain only 

opinions or preferences will not receive 

a formal response, but will be 

considered and included as part of the 

BLM decision-making process.

ADDRESSES: Please address questions, 

comments or concerns to the Vernal 

Field Office, Bureau of Land 

Management, Attn: Jean NitschkeSinclear, 170 South 500 East, Vernal, 

UT 84078, fax them to (435) 781–4410, 

or send e-mail comments to the 

attention of Jean Nitschke-Sinclear at 

jean_nitschke-sinclear@blm.gov. A copy 

of the DEIS has been sent to affected 

Federal, State, and local government 

agencies; and persons and entities who 

indicated to the BLM that they wished 

to receive a copy of the DEIS. 

Written comments, including names 

and addresses of respondents, will be 

available for public review at the BLM, 

Vernal Field Office during normal 

business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). 

Responses to the comments will be 

published as part of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). 

Individuals may request confidentiality. 

If you wish to withhold your name or 

address from public review or from 

disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comment. Such requests will be 

honored to the extent allowed by law. 

All submissions from organizations or 

businesses will be made available for 

public inspection in their entirety. 

Copies of the Inland Resources Inc., 

Castle Peak and Eight Mile Flat Oil & 

Gas Expansion Project DEIS are 

available at the BLM Vernal Field Office 

at the address above. The DEIS may also 

be viewed and downloaded in PDF 

format at the BLM Vernal Field Office 

Web site at http://www.blm.gov/utah/

vernal.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean 

Nitschke-Sinclear, or Veronica 

Herkshan, Planning Specialist, at BLM’s 

Vernal Field Office listed above or 

telephone (435–781–4400).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS 

analyzes proposed expanded waterflood 

oil recovery on about 65,500 total acres 

in the Monument Butte region, 

approximately 25 miles southwest of 

Roosevelt, in Township 8 South, Ranges 

17–19 East, SLBM; and, Township 9 

South, Ranges 16–19 East, SLBM. The 

proposed project is located primarily on 

BLM-administered lands (59,757 acres, 

or 91% of the project area) and includes 

5,777 acres (or about 9%) of State of 

Utah administered lands; and, 41 acres 

(less than 1%) of private lands. The 

proponent anticipates drilling up to 900 

additional wells at a rate of 70 to 130 

a year or until the resource base is fully 

developed. The total number of wells 

drilled would depend largely on factors 

out of the Company’s control such as 

geology, economic factors, and lease 

restrictions. The wells would be drilled 

on a 40-acre spacing pattern to recovery 

oil and gas reserves from the Green 

River Formation (involving depths of 

4,500 to 6,500 feet). Inland would drill 

approximately 50 percent of the wells as 

producing wells, and 50 percent as 

water injection wells. The water 

injection wells would allow reservoir 

pressure to be managed and oil recovery 

to be maximized. Water would be 

supplied from existing Water District 

contracts and from various oil and water 

bearing reservoirs within the Green 

River Formation underlying the oil 

field. At its peak water usage, the 

project would require about 1,400 acre 

feet per year. Other project-related 

activities would include the 

construction and operation of roads, gas 

pipelines, well pads (with pumping 

units and oil storage tanks), and water 

pipelines. Inland Resources, Inc., also 

proposes to construct a new water 

filtration/injection plant with injection 

capacities of 2,500 to 4,000 barrels of 

water per day as well as a pump house. 

Produced oil from new wells would be 

transported from 400-barrel well site 

storage tanks by tanker truck to 

refineries near Salt Lake City, Utah. Gas 

would be transported via pipeline to 

one of Inland’s existing compression 

facilities. Produced water would be 

trucked to one of several existing Inland 

water injection plants where it would be 

filtered and mixed with culinary fresh 

water before being re-injected into the 

oil reservoir via a water-pipeline and 

injection well system. No new 

compressor stations are anticipated. 

Existing producing wells within the 

project area were drilled between 1980 

and 1996. By the late 1980’s, most of 

these wells were reaching the end of 

their economically useful life using 

conventional recovery methods. In 1995 

Inland received approval from BLM to 

drill 296 over a 5-year period as part of 

a research effort to try commercial use 

of waterflood technology for oil 

recovery. In 1997 BLM approved an 

additional 300 wells for Inland to drill 

300 wells using the waterflood 

technology. 

The Notice of Intent for preparation of 

the Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement on the Inland Resources Inc., 

Castle Peak and Eight Mile Flat Oil & 

Gas Expansion Project was published in 

the Federal Register on May 8, 2002. 

Public participation was sought through 

scoping, public meetings and 

‘‘stakeholder’’ meetings conducted with 

interested agencies and organizations. 

Specifically, BLM conducted a public 

scoping and information open house in 

Roosevelt and Vernal, Utah on June 11 

and 12, 2002, respectively; and a 

stakeholders meeting on May 23, 2002. 

Through the scoping process several 

issues have been identified including 

potential impacts on socio-economics; 

cultural resources; paleontological 

resources; wildlife and listed and 

special status wildlife and plant species 

habitats; soils and water resources; 

Pariette Wetlands Complex Area of 

Critical Environmental Concern; and 

cumulative impacts. 

The BLM has developed two 

alternatives in addition to the proposed 

action for analysis in the DEIS. 

Alternative A discusses the effects of the 

Proposed Action as modified by the 

application of stipulations identified in 

the Diamond Mountain Resource 

Management Plan and mitigation 

measures recommended to reduce 

environmental effects. At this time 

Alternative A is the BLM’s preferred 

alternative. The No Action Alternative 

considers the operation of existing wells 

and drilling of additional wells 

authorized and granted with conditions 

of approval developed from previous 

NEPA documents, the 1994 Diamond 

Mountain Resource Management Plan 

and existing lease rights. The proposed 

action and alternative being considered 

in the DEIS are in conformance with the 

1994 Diamond Mountain Resource 

Management Plan.

Dated: September 9, 2004.

Vernal Field Manager.
