BLM seeks input on Moab oil and gas lease sale

Lease sale set for February

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking input on parcels nominated for the February oil and gas lease sale.

The BLM’s Canyon Country District will use comments for an environmental assessment analyzing potential impacts associated with leasing the nominated parcels. The public is encouraged to provide comments that identify issues or concerns that will influence the scope of the analysis, the selection of parcels for the sale or the development process for the environmental assessment.

The proposed parcel list and maps are available for review at the Monticello and Moab field offices.

Written comments will be accepted until Aug. 25, 2016. The most useful comments identify issues. Opinions will not receive a formal response Reference the “Canyon Country District February 2017 Competitive Oil and Gas Lease Sale” when submitting written comments.

In addition to NEPA, individuals can participate in the proposed project’s National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 process. To provide input in this process, please submit requests to the BLM Moab Field Office explaining your interest in the project and/or concerns with potential effects related to historic properties from the project.
