by Bureau of Land Management
July 21, 2013
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Field Office (PFO) will host the annual planning meeting (APM) for air, water and socioeconomic topics at 9 a.m., Aug. 20, at the PFO, 1625 W. Pine St., Pinedale, Wyoming.
Air quality topics will include an update by the U.S. Forest Service on the IMPROVE air monitoring station; an operator update on air quality, ozone action days and voluntary emissions reductions; a BLM report on general conformity; and a presentation on the results of Visibility Milestone #3 modeling.
Water topics will include updates on Sublette County Conservation District surface and groundwater monitoring; current water use by operators; a BLM presentation on the Low Level Petroleum Hydrocarbon Compounds Study; and an update on the Monitoring and Pollution Prevention Plan.
Socioeconomic topics will include operator presentations on the development forecast and planned operations based on current commodities.
The meeting is open to the public who will have opportunities to comment.
An APM is required by the 2008 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision for the Pinedale Anticline Project Area. To more fully address topics of community interest, the PFO has subdivided the original APM into three annual meetings focused on development, wildlife, and air, water and socioeconomics. This is the third APM for air, water and socioeconomics.
An agenda will be available Aug. 1 at www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/field_offices/Pinedale/anticline/airwatermtg.html. Agenda items and times are subject to change.
