DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Indian Affairs

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Yellowstone Pipeline

Rights-of-Way Renewal Across Trust

and Allotted Lands of the Flathead

Indian Reservation, Montana

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of DEIS

and public hearing dates.

SUMMARY: The Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS) is for the

proposed renewal of rights-of-way for an

existing petroleum products pipeline.

Constructed in 1954, this pipeline

transports gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet

fuel from refineries in Billings,

Montana, 588 miles west to Spokane

and Moses Lake, Washington. A portion

of the pipeline crosses both tribal and

allotted trust lands on the Flathead

Indian Reservation in northwestern

Montana.

The Yellowstone Pipe Line Company

(YPL) and the Confederated Salish and

Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Nation

(CSKT) executed a lease agreement for

these trust lands for the period April 21,

1975, through April 21, 1995. It was

approved by the Bureau of Indian

Affairs (BIA), which serves as the

federal trustee for the lands. The YPL

requested a renewal of its lease from the

CSKT in order to continue operating the

pipeline through the year 2016.

A third party consultant, L.W. Reed

Consultants, Inc. of Fort Collins,

Colorado, is preparing the EIS for the

BIA. They signed vouchers saying that

they have no interest in the final

decision of the BIA and have no conflict

of interests involving YPL. The BIA

required that YPL fund the EIS.

This notice is published pursuant to

Sec. 1503.1 of the Council on

Environmental Quality Regulations (40

CFR, Parts 1500 through 1508)

implementing the procedural

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.),

Department of Interior Manual (516 DM

1–6) and is in the exercise of authority

delegated to the Assistant Secretary—

Indian Affairs by 209 DM 8.

be held on the following dates:

Thursday, May 11; Monday, May 15;

Tuesday, May 16; Wednesday, May 17;

EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of the Interior classifies the

renewal of an existing right-of-way

‘‘where there would be essentially no

change in use and continuation would

not lead to environmental degradation’’

as a Categorical Exclusion under NEPA.

In this case, two large spills and five

smaller ones on the Reservation during

the life of the pipeline indicated that

continuation might lead to significant

environmental degradation. Therefore,

the Superintendent of the Flathead

Agency, BIA, in consultation with the

CSKT, decided that an EIS would be

required prior to any federal decision

concerning lease renewal.

The Proposed Action consists of the

YPL’s request to renew existing rightsof-way across trust lands, with added

pipeline safety improvements. The

action is needed in order to continue:

(1) Operation of the pipeline to serve the

needs of the public; (2) transportation of
