SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

Uncompahgre Field Office received a 

proposed MDP for natural gas 

exploration and development from SG 

Interests I, Ltd. (SGI) for the Bull 

Mountain Unit. An MDP provides 

information common to multiple 

planned wells, including drilling plans, 

Surface Use Plans of Operations, and 

plans for future production. 

The Bull Mountain Unit MDP Draft 

EIS describes the exploration and 

development of up to 146 natural gas 

wells, four water disposal wells and 

associated infrastructure on Federal and 

private mineral leases within a federally 

unitized area known as the Bull 

Mountain Unit. SGI decided to develop 

the unit after their exploration wells 

demonstrated the potential for 

economically viable reserves of natural 

gas. 

The Bull Mountain Unit is located 

within the Colorado River basin, 

approximately 30 miles northeast of the 

Town of Paonia and is bisected by State 

Highway 133. The boundaries of the 

unit encompass approximately 19,670 

acres, Federal and private oil, and gas 

mineral estate in Gunnison County, 

Colorado. The unit consists of 440 acres 

of BLM Federal surface and subsurface 

land; 12,900 acres of split-estate lands 

consisting of private surface and Federal 

subsurface minerals administered by the 

BLM; and 6,330 acres of fee land 

consisting of private surface and private 

subsurface minerals. 

The BLM is considering three 

alternatives in the Draft EIS: The No 

Action alternative, the MDP as 

submitted, and a third alternative 

developed by the BLM to help evaluate 

the effects of various modification and 

mitigation possibilities. 

Work on the MDP began with a 

preliminary Environmental Assessment 

in 2009. The BLM determined that an 

EIS was necessary due to potential 

significant impacts to air quality in 

nearby Class 1 air sheds, water, 

socioeconomics and wildlife. 

Please note that public comments and 

information submitted including names, 

street addresses and email addresses of 

persons who submit comments will be

Persons who use a telecommunications 

device for the deaf (TDD) may call the 

Federal Information Relay Service

business hours. The FIRS is available 24

during normal business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Bakersfield Approved RMP addresses 

public land and resources managed by 

the Bakersfield Field Office in an 8 

county, 17-million acre region of central 

California and provides management 

direction for approximately 400,000 

acres of BLM-administered public land 

and 1.2 million acres of Federal mineral 

estate under Federal, State, and private 

surface ownership. 

The Bakersfield Approved RMP— 

• Establishes the goals, objectives, 

and management actions to meet 

desired resource conditions; 

• Identifies comprehensive 

management direction for all resources 

and uses, including application of onsite, off-site (including compensation), 

and regional mitigation strategies, as 

applicable, and landscape-level 

conservation and management actions 

to achieve resource objectives; 

• Identifies lands that are open or 

available for certain uses along with 

associated surface restrictions; 

• Identifies lands closed to certain 

uses; and 

• Makes broad-scale decisions to 

guide future site-specific project 

implementation for renewable energy, 

fluid minerals, livestock grazing, and 

recreation management in the 

Bakersfield Field Office. 

The selected alternative for the 

Approved RMP is the agency proposed 

plan (Alternative B) in the Proposed 

RMP/Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS), with the minor 

modifications described below. 

After publication of the Proposed 

RMP/Final EIS on August 31, 2012, the 

BLM received 21 protest letters. The 

BLM modified the proposed plan based 

on protest resolution as reflected in the 

Approved RMP. These changes include, 

but are not limited to, designation of the 

Salinas River as an Area of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACEC) and 

adoption of the special management 

attention for this area as outlined in 

Alternative C of the Proposed RMP/

Final EIS. The BLM also corrected 

acreages for the Bitter Creek and Chico 

Martinez ACECs, which had been 

modified in the Proposed RMP/Final 

EIS based on public comments to 

exclude lands for which the BLM has no 

authority to apply management 

prescriptions. 

The California Governor’s Office did 

not identify any inconsistencies 

between the Proposed RMP/Final EIS 

and State or local plans, policies, and 

programs during the 60-day Governor’s 

consistency review. 

The ROD/Approved RMP route 

designation decisions are 

implementation decisions and are 

appealable under 43 CFR part 4. Any 

party adversely affected by an 

implementation decision may appeal 

within 30 days of publication of this 

Notice of Availability pursuant to 43 

CFR, part 4, subpart E. The appeal 

should identify the specific route(s) on 

which the decision is being appealed. 

The appeal must be filed with the 

Bakersfield Field Manager at the above 

listed address. Please consult the 

appropriate regulations (43 CFR, part 4, 

subpart E) for further appeal 

requirements. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6.
