Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Blue Valley Land 

Exchange, Grand and Summit 

Counties, CO 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has prepared a 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Blue Valley Land Exchange. 

DATES: The BLM will issue a final 

decision on the proposal a minimum of 

30 days after the date that the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes its Notice of Availability in 

the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Blue Valley 

Land Exchange Final EIS are available 

in the Kremmling Field Office at 2103 

Park Avenue, Kremmling, CO 80459 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

proposes to exchange certain Federal 

lands for properties owned by Galloway, 

Inc., the owners of the Blue Valley 

Ranch. Pursuant to Section 206 of the 

Federal Land Management and Policy 

Act of 1976, as amended, the proposed 

land exchange must be determined to be 

in the public’s interest and appraisals of 

the Federal and non-Federal parcels 

must show that the exchange parcels are 

equal in value. The Federal and nonFederal lands are located within the 

BLM’s Kremmling Field Office and the 

White River National Forest. 

The Final EIS describes and analyzes 

the Proposed Action (BLM’s preferred 

alternative), another action alternative 

(Alternative 3), and the No Action 

alternative. The BLM’s preferred 

alternative would convey approximately 

1,489 acres of Federal lands managed by 

the BLM in Grand County, Colorado, to 

Blue Valley Ranch in exchange for 

approximately 1,830 acres of nonFederal lands in Summit and Grand 

counties, Colorado. It also provides a 

series of recreation design features along 

the lower Blue River, including public 

access easements, ADA-accessible 

facilities, fishing access, boater rest 

stops, trails, parking, boat ramps, and 

picnic facilities. Alternative 3 responds 

to public comments on the draft EIS, 

analyzing a reconfigured boundary for 

BLM parcel I that retains existing public 

fishing access and drops ranch-owned 

parcels 3 and 4 from the exchange to 

balance land values. Also dropped from 

Alternative 3 are the recreation design 

features that are part of the Proposed 

Action. 

The BLM sought public participation 

through a scoping period initiated in 

April 2016 prior to preparation of the 

Draft EIS, which assisted the BLM in 

identifying issues to be addressed in the 

Draft EIS for the proposed land 

exchange. 

Issues identified by the public during 

scoping included changes to public 

fishing access, perceived changes to 

float boating on the Blue River, concerns 

about changes to public access for 

hunting, changes to wildlife 

management and habitat, changes to the 

availability of Federal minerals for 

development, transfer of historic water 

rights, and issues common for all 

proposed land exchanges such as 

concerns about large landowners 

realizing a benefit from the exchange. 

These issues are addressed in the 

analysis in the Final EIS. The BLM 

would manage lands acquired through 

the land exchange in accordance with 

applicable laws and regulations, as well 

as the 2015 Kremmling Field Office 

Resource Management Plan, as 

amended. The White River National 

Forest would manage approximately 

300 acres of lands acquired under the 

White River National Forest Land and 

Resource Management Plan. The Blue 

Valley Ranch would manage lands 

acquired in accordance with applicable 

State, county, and local laws and 

ordinances. 

The Draft EIS was available for a 45- 

day public comment period, which 

began on May 11, 2018, and ended on 

June 25, 2018. The comment period 

included two public meetings: On June 

4, 2018, at the Summit County Library 

in Silverthorne, Colorado, and on June 

6, 2018, at the Grand County Extension 

Office in Kremmling, Colorado. The 

BLM received 52 comments during the 

public comment process. Comment 

responses are in the Final EIS.

SUMMARY: Consistent with the 

regulations implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management 

(BOEM) announces its intent to prepare 

an environmental impact statement

construction and operation of a wind 

energy facility offshore Virginia, called 

the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind 

Commercial Project (CVOW–C or

scoping process for the Dominion COP. 

Additionally, this NOI seeks public 

comment and input under section 106 

of the National Historic Preservation Act 

(NHPA) and its implementing 

regulations. Detailed information about 

the proposed wind energy facility,
