• A CO2 underground pipeline from 

the proposed Riley Ridge Sweetening 

Plant to the Bairoil Interconnect, 

consisting of 129 miles of 24-inchdiameter pipe, and continuing from the 

interconnect another 84 miles to the 

terminus at the Natrona Hub within 

Natrona County; 

• The 4.3-acre proposed Riley Ridge 

Sweetening Plant, located on BLMadministered lands, constructed and 

operated to separate the CO2 from the 

H2S; the H2S would be reinjected into 

deep geologic formations via two 

proposed injection wells; 

• An approximately 1-mile-long 230 

kV overhead transmission line that 

would bring power to the Riley Ridge 

Sweetening Plant from an existing 230 

kV transmission line; and 

• Ancillary facilities, such as roads, 

valves, flowlines, etc. 

The purpose of this Federal action is 

to respond to the Applicant’s right-ofway applications for construction, 

operation, and maintenance of the 

Project infrastructure across Federal 

land. Section 28 of the Mineral Leasing 

Act of 1920 provides authority for BLM 

to issue right-of-way grants for pipeline 

purposes, and FLPMA provides the 

BLM with discretionary authority to 

grant use of public lands, including 

rights-of-way, taking into consideration 

impacts on natural, cultural, and 

historical resources. 

The BLM is the lead Federal agency 

for this EIS as defined at 40 CFR part 

1501.5. Cooperating agencies include 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National 

Park Service, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers; the State of Wyoming; 

Freemont, Lincoln, Sublette, 

Sweetwater, and Natrona counties in 

Wyoming; and the Natrona County, 

Popo Agie, Sublette County, and 

Sweetwater County conservation 

districts in Wyoming. 

In accordance with NEPA, the BLM 

prepared an EIS analyzing the right-ofway applications using an 

interdisciplinary approach to consider a 

variety of resource issues and concerns 

identified during internal, interagency, 

and public scoping. The BLM published 

a NOA of the Draft EIS for public review 

and comment in the Federal Register on 

March 23, 2018 (83 FR 12810). The EPA 

published a NOA of the Draft EIS for 

public review and comment in the 

Federal Register on the same day, 

which initiated a 45-day public review 

period. 

To allow the public an opportunity to 

review information associated with the 

Project and comment on the Draft EIS, 

the BLM hosted four public meetings in 

April 2018. The public meetings on the 

Draft EIS were held from 4 to 7 p.m. at 

the following locations: 

D April 9—Ramada Plaza Riverside, 300 

West F Street, Casper, Wyoming 

D April 10—Rodeway Inn/Pronghorn 

Lodge, 150 East Main Street, Lander, 

Wyoming 

D April 11—Marbleton Town Hall, 

10700 Highway 189, Marbleton, 

Wyoming 

D April 12—BLM High Desert District 

Office, 280 Highway 191 North, Rock 

Springs, Wyoming 

During the 45-day comment period, 

19 submittals offering comments on the 

Draft EIS were received from various 

federal, State, and local agencies; 

various special interest groups; 

corporations; and public citizens. This 

included 14 letters, 3 comment forms, 

and 2 emails with comments submitted 

at the public open house meetings and 

mailed to the BLM. In compliance with 

the requirements of the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations for 

implementing NEPA, all substantive 

comments received were assessed and a 

response provided. Of the 19 comment 

submittals received, 70 comments were 

identified as substantive according to 

BLM guidelines. 

The BLM responded to comments 

received on the draft EIS in the final 

EIS. After the final waiting period, and 

based on the environmental analysis in 

the final EIS, the BLM will prepare a 

Record of Decision documenting the 

BLM Authorized Officer’s decision. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 43 CFR 

1610.2.
