agencies, along with tribes and other 

stakeholders that may be interested in or 

affected by the proposed action that the 

BLM is evaluating, are invited to 

participate in the scoping process and, 

if eligible, may request or be requested 

by the BLM to participate in the 

development of the environmental 

analysis as a cooperating agency. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personally identifying information— 

may be made publicly available at any 

time. While you can ask the BLM in 

your comment to withhold your 

personally-identifying information from 

public review, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. 

The minutes and list of attendees for 

each scoping meeting will be available 

to the public and open for 30 days after 

the meeting to any participant who 

wishes to clarify the views he or she 

expressed. The BLM will evaluate all 

identified issues, and will place them 

into one of three categories: 

1. Issues to be resolved in the RMP 

amendment; 

2. Issues to be resolved through policy 

or administrative action; or 

3. Issues beyond the scope of this 

RMP amendment. 

An explanation will be provided in 

FERC’s Draft EIS as to why an issue was 

placed in category two or three. The 

public is also encouraged to help 

identify any issues that should be 

addressed in the RMP. The BLM will 

work collaboratively with interested 

parties to identify the management 

decisions that are best suited to local, 

regional, and national needs and 

concerns. 

The BLM will use an interdisciplinary 

approach to develop the RMP 

amendment in order to consider the 

variety of resource issues and concerns 

identified, as well as to develop 

alternatives to the proposed RMP 

amendment. Specialists with expertise 

in the following disciplines will be 

involved in the planning process: 

Archaeology and cultural resources, 

tribal issues, wildlife, visual resources, 

lands, realty, and special area 

designations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPL 

project is located immediately south 

and west of the existing Jonah Gas Field 

in Sublette County, Wyoming. The 

project area lies within the BLM 

Wyoming High Desert District (HDD) 

and spans the Pinedale Field Office 

(PFO) in the north and Rock Springs 

Field Office (RSFO) to the south. 

The project encompasses 

approximately 141,000 acres of public, 

State, and private lands. Approximately 

96% of the project area is on BLMadministered public lands. Within the 

NPL project area, there are both unitized 

and non-unitized development areas. 

Jonah Energy LLC, the current 

operator after purchasing Encana Oil 

and Gas Inc.’s leasehold interest in the 

project, is proposing up to 3,500 

directionally drilled wells (depth range 

from 6,500 to 13,500 feet) over a 10-year 

period. Under Jonah Energy’s proposal, 

most wells would be co-located on 

multi-well pads, with no more than four 

well pads per 640 acres in areas outside 

of Greater Sage-grouse Priority Habitat 

Management Areas (PHMA). There 

would be only one disturbance per 640 

acres inside PHMA. On average, each 

well pad would be 18 acres in size. 

Regional gathering facilities would be 

utilized instead of placing compressors 

at each well pad. Associated access 

roads, pipelines, and other ancillary 

facilities would be co-located where 

possible to further minimize surface 

disturbance. 

There are approximately 48,036 acres 

of PHMA, 27,292 acres of Greater Sagegrouse Winter Concentration Area 

(WCA), and 1,259 acres of Sagebrush 

Focal Areas (SFAs) within the NPL 

project area. All of the SFA is within the 

Rock Springs Field Office. 

Cooperating agencies for this EIS 

include the State of Wyoming, with 

active participation from many state 

agencies including the Wyoming Game 

and Fish Department, State Historic 

Preservation Office, the Wyoming 

Department of Environmental Quality 

and the Wyoming Department of 

Agriculture. Local cooperating agencies 

include Sweetwater, Lincoln and 

Sublette Counties, and the Sublette 

County Conservation District. 

The Notice of Intent to prepare the 

EIS was published on April 12, 2011 (70 

FR 20370), initiating a 30-day formal 

public scoping period. Public scoping 

meetings were held in Pinedale, Rock 

Springs, and Marbleton, WY. Public 

scoping comments were used to identify 

issues that informed the formulation of 

alternatives and framed the scope of 

analysis for the NPL EIS. 

A total of 1,238 scoping comments 

were received, with 29 resource issues 

identified. Key issues identified during 

scoping informed the formulation of 

alternatives and framed the scope of 

analysis for the NPL Final EIS. The 

issues include: 

D Air Quality: Potential project and 

cumulative impacts on air quality, 

including air quality-related values. 

D Regulatory Setting: Permits, 

authorization, conformance with other 

plans, laws, policies and guidance. 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
29136 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2018 / Notices 

D Social and Economic impacts: Jobs, 

housing, Federal mineral royalties, and 

quality of life. 

D Mitigation (including Compensatory 

Mitigation): When and how it applies to 

individual resource protection 

measures. 

D Reclamation and Monitoring: The 

effect of currently used practices 

including seed mixes, revegetation, use 

of reference sites including ecological 

site descriptions. 

D Wildlife Habitat, particularly 

Greater sage-grouse and pronghorn 

antelope: The project’s potential to 

further fragment wildlife habitats and 

diminish the value of those habitats for 

many species. 

In response to the scoping comments 

received, the BLM developed three 

alternatives to the Proposed Action: The 

No Action Alternative, utilizing existing 

standard stipulations and examining the 

project area under the historical rate of 

development of around three wells per 

year; Alternative A, utilizing a phased 

approach moving through existing 

leased oil and gas units and responding 

to identified wildlife issues; and 

Alternative B, which addressed a broad 

range of resource concerns in response 

to issues identified during scoping. 

Alternatives A and B each analyzed 

the same rate of development as the 

Proposed Action, as well as the use of 

regional gathering facilities. However, in 

addition to varying resource protection 

measures, each alternative analyzed 

differing densities of development 

between one to four well pads per 640 

acres, depending on the resource 

considerations of the project area. 

Additionally, Alternative A analyzed 

the merits of developing the project area 

in three geographically defined phases, 

occurring sequentially, and taking into 

consideration existing oil and gas units. 

Interim and final reclamation 

activities would be implemented under 

all alternatives to return the landscape 

to its previous condition in 

conformance with the NPL Reclamation 

Plan and the relevant Resource 

Management Plans (RMP). 

All alternatives conform to the 

Pinedale Field Office Resource 

Management Plan Record of Decision 

(2008) and the Rock Springs Field Office 

Green River Resource Management Plan 

Record of Decision (1997), as amended 

by the Record of Decision and Approved 

Resource Management Plan 

Amendments for the Rocky Mountain 

Region, Including the Greater SageGrouse Sub-Region of Wyoming (2015). 

The Draft EIS Notice of Availability 

was published on July 7, 2017 (129 FR 

31628), opening a 45-day public 

comment period. Public meetings were 

held on July 25, 2017 in Pinedale, and 

July 26, 2017 in Rock Springs. Over 

1,000 individual comment letters were 

received. Comments included identified 

issues associated with each alternative, 

including feasibility and sufficiency of 

the analysis and impacts to specific 

resources as a result of each alternative. 

Comments were considered and 

incorporated as appropriate into the 

Final EIS; however, the analysis of the 

alternatives and the identified impacts 

did not significantly change. 

The Final EIS is consistent with the 

BLM’s obligations under the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act.
