19956 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 77 / Friday, April 21, 1995 / Notices

Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 30.

Access to the interior of the Moxa

analysis area is provided by an

extensive road network developed to

service prior and on-going drilling and

production activities. The Moxa Arch

Field is located in an area of

checkerboard land ownership with

approximately 55 percent Federal, 42

percent private, and 3 percent State. An

extensive infrastructure of roads and

pipelines for natural gas production is

already in place within the Moxa Arch

Development Area.

Over the next 10 years, the Moxa

Operators propose to drill up to 1,325

additional infill wells, where 957 wells

are presently active, to allow for the

maximum recovery of natural gas from

existing Federal, State, and private oil

and gas leases. Additional roads and

pipelines would be necessary to link the

wells with existing transportation

pipelines. Drilling estimates were based

on the Moxa operators reasonable

expectations that the ‘‘tight-gas’’

formation in this area could be

developed at a average level of four

wells per section within the ‘‘proven’’

production area and up to two wells per

section within the ‘‘flank’’ area. A

portion of the project area is presently

developed on a 160 acre spacing (four

wells per 640 acres). The Moxa

Operators’ plans and drilling schedules

would be contingent upon both an

increased demand for natural gas

supplies in response to the Clean Air

Act amendments of 1990 and an

adequate price for the gas at the

wellhead. The draft EIS describes the

physical, biological, cultural, historic,

and socio-economic resources in and

surrounding the project area. The focus

for impact analysis was based upon

resource issues and concerns identified

during public scoping. Potential impacts

of concern from development were to

livestock forage; recreation associated

with Fontenelle Reservoir; crucial big

game winter range and antelope

migrations; sage grouse and raptor

breeding and nesting; special status

plant and wildlife species; soil erosion

and sediment increases to the Hams

Fork, Blacks Fork, and Green Rivers;

groundwater contamination; Oregon,

Mormon Pioneer, Pony Express, and

California Historic Trails condition and

viewshed; and cumulative effects.

This draft EIS, in compliance with

Section 7(c) of the Endangered Species

Act (as amended), includes the

Biological Assessment for the purpose

of identifying any endangered or

threatened species which are likely to

be affected by the proposed action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

December 29, 1994, Oregon Governor

Barbara Roberts petitioned the Secretary

of the Interior to add a 10-mile reach of

the Wallowa River to the National Wild

and Scenic Rivers System. The section

of river under consideration extends

from the confluence of the Wallowa and

Minam Rivers in the hamlet of Minam

(river mile 10.0) downstream to the

confluence of the Wallowa and Grande

Ronde Rivers (river mile 0.0). Under

section 2(a)(ii) of the National Wild and

Scenic Rivers Act (P.L. 90–542, as

amended), the Secretary has the

authority to add a river to the national

system at the request of a state, provided

the state has met certain conditions and

the river meets eligibility criteria. These

preconditions are:

(1) The river is already designated

into a state river protection system.

(2) The state has the ability to manage

the river at no cost to the federal

government, except for those lands

already in federal ownership.

(3) The river has resources of regional

or national significance and is freeflowing as defined by the Departments

of the Interior and Agriculture.

(4) The state has adequate

mechanisms in place to protect the

resources for which the river is eligible

in the first place.

Upon the request of a state governor

to the Secretary, the National Park

Service, acting for the Secretary,

undertakes an evaluation of the state’s

request. The National Park Service

requested the assistance of the U.S.

Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of

Land Management (BLM) in the

preparation of the report. This was done

for two reasons: (1) The BLM currently

administers 41% of the area under

consideration; and (2) the USFS recently

completed a wild and scenic

assessment—and an environmental

impact statement on the impacts of

designation—at the request of Congress

through the 1988 Oregon Omnibus

Rivers Act. The National Park Service

acted as a cooperating agency in the

preparation of the USFS report. In

addition, the BLM and USFS have an

adopted river management plan in place

for the Wallowa River. Both the BLM

and the USFS acted as cooperating

agencies in this assessment on behalf of

the state.

As a result of the evaluation, the

National Park Service has concluded

that the state of Oregon has met all

requirements to include the Wallowa

River in the national system and the

river itself meets all eligibility criteria.

The National Park Service is tentatively

recommending that the Secretary

designate the Wallowa as a National

Recreational River.

Director, National Park Service.

previously routed over this line has

recently been rerouted to alternate lines;

(3) no formal complaint filed by a user

or local government entity acting on

behalf of such user) regarding cessation

of service over the line either is pending

with the Commission or with any U.S.
