Notice of Availability of Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Draft

Environmental Impact Statement.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management announces the availability

of the Jonah Field II Natural Gas

Development Project (Jonah Field) Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

which analyzes the environmental

consequences of the Jonah Field

proposed natural gas development and

production operation. The Jonah Field

project area is approximately 32 miles

south of Pinedale, Wyoming, and 28

miles north of Farson, Wyoming, and

located within portions of Townships

28 and 29 North, Ranges 107, 108, and

109 West, Sixth Principal Meridian,

Sublette County, Wyoming. The project

area encompasses a potential natural gas

field of up to 59,600 acres, where 49

wells are presently active or have been

previously analyzed, and where up to

450 additional wells could be drilled

over the next 15 years.

DATES: Comments on the DEIS will be

accepted for 45 days following the date

that the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) publishes their notice of

availability in the Federal Register. The

EPA notice is expected to be published

on July 25, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the DEIS

should be sent to Bureau of Land

Management, Arlan Hiner, Team

Leader, 280 Highway 191 North, Rock

Springs, WY 82901.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: McMurry

Oil Company, Snyder Oil Corporation,

Amoco Production Co., and Western

Gas Resources, Inc. (Operators) propose

to explore and develop their existing

leases within the Jonah Field project

area. The Operators propose to expand

the Jonah Field from 49 current wells by

drilling up to 450 additional wells over

the next 15 years. The wells would be

drilled on 80-acre spacing (i.e., a well

density of eight wells per 640 acres).

The Operators’ plans and drilling

schedules would be contingent upon an

adequate price for the gas at the

wellhead.

The Jonah Field DEIS analyzes the

impacts of the Proposed Action, a

Sensitive Resource Protection

Alternative, a Maximum Density of 4

Well Locations/Section, and the No

Action Alternative. Based on the issues

and concerns identified during the

scoping process, the DEIS focuses on the

impacts to socio-economics, wildlife, air

quality, land use, and cumulative

effects. Key issues include effects upon

people and communities near the

project area and the State as a whole;

effects to antelope and antelope habitat,

sage grouse and raptor breeding and

nesting; potential reductions in air

quality and visibility; potential

reductions in water quality; impacts for

surface disturbance; and transportation

planning.

The DEIS, in compliance with Section

7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (as

amended), includes the Biological

Assessment for the purpose of

identifying endangered or threatened

species which may be affected by the

proposed action.

Comments, including names and

street addresses of respondents, will be

available for public review at the

address listed above during regular
40540 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 145 / Tuesday, July 29, 1997 / Notices

business hours (7:45 a.m.–4:30 p.m.),

Monday through Friday, except

holidays, and may be published as part

of the DEIS. Individual respondents may

request confidentiality. If you wish to

withhold your name or street address

from public review or from disclosure

under the Freedom of Information Act,

you must state this prominently at the

beginning of your written comment.

Such requests will be honored to the

extent allowed by law. All submissions

from organizations or businesses, and

from individuals identifying themselves

as representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, will be

made available for public inspection in

their entirety.
