DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Indian Affairs 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Proposed Riverton Dome Coal 

Bed Natural Gas and Conventional Gas 

Development, Wind River Indian 

Reservation, Fremont County, WY 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public 

that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), 

in cooperation with the Joint Business 

Council of the Eastern Shoshone and 

Northern Arapaho Tribes, Bureau of 

Land Management and U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), intends to file a Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) 

with EPA for the proposed coal bed 

natural gas and conventional gas 

development project, and that the FEIS 

is now available to the public. 

DATES: The Record of Decision on the 

proposed action will be issued on or 

after October 21, 2008. Any comments 

on the FEIS must arrive by October 20, 

2008. 

ADDRESSES: You may mail or hand carry 

written comments to Ray Nation, 

Deputy Superintendent, Trust Services, 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, Wind River 

Agency, First and Washakie Streets, Fort 

Washakie, Wyoming 82514. 

Paper or CD copies of the FEIS are 

available at the above address and at the 

Bureau of Land Management, Lander 

Field Office, 1335 Main Street, Lander, 

Wyoming 82420. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ray 

Nation, (307) 332–3718. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Riverton Dome Project Area (RDPA) is 

located on the southeast corner of the 

Wind River Indian Reservation in 

Township 1S, Range 4E, Sections 13, 14, 

23, 24, 25, 26, 35, and 36; Township 2S, 

Range 4E, Sections 1, 2, 11 and 12; 

Township 1S, Range 5E, Sections 17, 18, 

19, 20, 29, 30, 31 and 32; and Township 

2S, Range 5E, Sections 5, 6, 7, and 8, in 

Fremont County, Wyoming, 

approximately 5 miles southeast of the 

city of Riverton, Wyoming. The Project 

Area is approximately 13,804 acres in 

size, of which 12,656 acres of surface 

and minerals belong to the Eastern 

Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes 

and 1,148 acres of surface and minerals 

are privately owned. 

The FEIS analyzes three alternatives: 

the proposed action (Alternative A), 

existing leases (Alternative B) and no 

action (Alternative C). The BIA has 

chosen Alternative B, rather than the 

proposed action, as the preferred 

alternative for this project. 

Alternative B consists of developing 

from 70 coal bed natural gas (CBNG) 

wells at 80-acre spacing to 151 CBNG 

wells at 40-acre spacing. The initial 

spacing for each new CBNG well drilled 

is 80-acre spacing. Forty-acre spacing 

would only be utilized if 80-acre 

spacing is not sufficient to efficiently 

produce the CBNG from the formation. 

The assumption that all CBNG wells 

would be drilled at 40-acre spacing was 

used to evaluate the maximum potential 

disturbance, produced water 

production, roads, pipelines, and 

compression needed for development. 

The actual number of CBNG wells to be 

drilled under the Alternative B is 

anticipated to be less than the maximum 

of 151 wells. In addition, up to 20 

conventional gas wells could be drilled 

under Alternative B.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 183 / Friday, September 19, 2008 / Notices 54429 

Alternative B would result in less 

than 57 percent of the initial surface 

disturbance anticipated under the 

proposed action and less than 55 

percent of the long-term surface 

disturbance. The decrease in surface 

disturbance would result in fewer 

impacts to the natural resources within 

the RDPA. In addition, the selection of 

the Alternative B incorporates the 

implementation of various avoidance, 

minimization, and mitigation measures.

Department of Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a 

Supplemental Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Chattahoochee 

River National Recreation Area General 

Management Plan. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

4332(2)(C) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

National Park Service (NPS) policy in 

Director’s Order Number 2 (Park 

Planning) and Director’s Order Number 

12 (Conservation Planning, 

Environmental Impact Analysis, and 

Decision-making) the NPS announces 

the availability of a Supplemental Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

General Management Plan (SDEIS/GMP) 

for the Chattahoochee River National 

Recreation Area (CRNRA) in the 

Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. 

The document provides a framework 

for management, use, and development 

options for the CRNRA by the NPS for 

the next 15 to 20 years. The document 

describes six management alternatives 

for consideration, including a no-action 

alternative that continues current 

management policies, and analyzes the 

environmental impacts of those 

alternatives. The CRNRA includes a 

maximum of 10,000 acres of land in 16 

units distributed along a 48-mile 

corridor between Peachtree Creek, 

Atlanta, and Buford Dam. The CRNRA 

is linear corridor surrounded by rapidly 

developing urban and suburban areas. 

DATES: Written comments regarding the 

SDEIS/GMP must be post marked no 

later than 60 days from the 

Environmental Protection Agency’s 

publication of its Notice of Availability 

in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be addressed to Dan Brown, 

Superintendent Chattahoochee River 

National Recreation Area, 1978 Island 

Ford Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia, 30350– 

3400. Comments may also be submitted 

through the NPS Planning Environment 

and Public Comment (PEPC) Web site:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

30, 2004, the NPS issued a Draft GMP/ 

EIS for the CRNRA. Many reviewers 

objected to some of the provisions of the 

alternative management strategies that 

were proposed in the draft plan. In 

consultation with the Georgia 

Department of Natural Resources the 

NPS made major revisions to the plan 

document including the development of 

two new alternatives. Subsequently, the 

NPS held public, stakeholder, and 

consulting party meetings to gather 

advice and feedback on the proposed 

new alternatives for the future 

management of the CRNRA. The input 

from the meetings assisted the NPS in 

developing these new alternatives for 

managing the cultural and natural
