[WY–030–1310–DB] 

Notice of Availability of a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Seminoe Road Gas Development 

Project 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) announces the 

availability of the Seminoe Road Gas 

Development Project DEIS that analyzes 

the environmental consequences of a 

proposed coalbed natural gas 

development and production operation 

in south central Wyoming. 

DATES: The DEIS will be available for 

review and comment for 60 calendar 

days from the date the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) publishes its 

NOA in the Federal Register. The BLM 

can best use comments and resource 

information if they are submitted by or 

before close of business the day of the 

end of the comment and review period. 

If you are uncertain as to what 

constitutes acceptable comment format 

or when comments are due, please 

contact the Project Leader or the 

Rawlins Field Office at the address 

below. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the DEIS was sent 

to affected Federal, State, and local 

government agencies and to interested 

parties. The document may also be 

available electronically on the following 

Web site: http://www.wy.blm.gov/nepa/ 

nepadocs.htm. Copies of the DEIS will 

be available for public inspection at the 

following locations: 

• Bureau of Land Management, 

Wyoming State Office, 5353 

Yellowstone Road, Cheyenne, Wyoming 

82003. 

• Bureau of Land Management, 

Rawlins Field Office, 1300 N. Third 

Street, Rawlins, Wyoming 82301. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David Simons, Project Leader, BLM 

Rawlins Field Office, 1300 N. Third 

Street, Rawlins, WY 82301. Requests for 

information may be sent electronically 

to: rawlins_wymail@blm.gov with 

‘‘Attention: Seminoe Road DEIS 

Information Request’’ in the subject line. 

Mr. Simons may also be reached at (307) 

328–4328. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dudley & 

Associates, LLC (the Operators) propose 

to explore and develop natural gas 

resources from coal beds within their 

existing leases within the Seminoe Road 

Project Area. The project is located 

approximately 20 miles northeast of 

Rawlins, Wyoming near Seminoe 

Reservoir, Townships 21–24 North, 

Ranges 84–86 West, Sixth Principal 

Meridian, Carbon County. 

The Operators will drill up to 1,240 

wells on up to 785 well pad sites over 

the next 30 to 40 years. Depending on 

geologic conditions, well density would 

range from two wells per 640 acres to 

four wells per 640 acres. 

Forty-nine percent of the 

approximately 137,000 surface acre area 

is public land administered primarily by 

the BLM. Of the remaining project area 

surface, 49 percent is privately owned 

and less than 2 percent is owned and 

administered by the State of Wyoming. 

The Federal mineral estate ownership 

pattern is the same as the surface 

ownership pattern. Currently, 

approximately 18 gas wells operate 

within the Seminoe Road Project Area 

from a pilot project drilled in 2001. The 

Operators propose to drill up to 1,240 

additional wells over the next 30 to 40 

years. 

The BLM published its Notice of 

Intent to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the Seminoe 

Road Gas Development Project in the 

Federal Register on March 13, 2003. 

Based upon issues and concerns 

identified during scoping and during 

the development of National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

analysis, the Seminoe Road DEIS 

focuses on individual and cumulative 

impacts to air quality, biological and 

physical resources, transportation, and 

socio-economics factors. In compliance 

with section 7(c) of the Endangered 

Species Act, as amended, the DEIS 

includes a biological assessment that 

identifies endangered or threatened 

species which may be affected by the 

Proposed Action. 

This DEIS assesses the effects of 

implementing the proposed action at the 

scale presented by the project 

proponent. Subsequent site-specific 

development proposals would be 

submitted to the BLM in the form of 

Applications to Drill (APD). A NEPA 

analysis of the, APDs would be 

conducted and analyzed to address site 

specific effects using best management 

practices. These site-specific 

environmental analyses would be tiered 

to this EIS. 

The Seminoe Road DEIS analyzes four 

alternatives in detail: 

1. Alternative A, the No Action 

alternative. This means the project as 

proposed would not be approved; 

2. Alternative B, the proposed action, 

with produced water from coalbed 

natural gas drilling and production 

discharged into ephemeral stream 

courses; 

3. Alternative C, the proposed action, 

modified to provide for produced water 

discharge in the North Platte River 

system using pipelines, aqueducts, or 

other water transportation features; and 

4. Alternative D, the proposed action, 

with produced water re-injected into 

underground aquifers. 

Agency Preferred Alternative: BLM’s 

preferred alternative is Alternative C. 

The proposed action is to proceed 

with field development through 

establishing 785 well pad sites, drilling 

up to 1,240 natural gas wells, 

developing access roads and siting 

pipelines and other ancillary facilities 

(gas processing plant, compressor 

stations, water disposal sites, etc.). The 

proposed action identifies the drilling of 

multiple wells from a single pad and 

well completion in multiple coal 

formations. Produced water would be 

released into surface drainages running 

into the North Platte River.
