The Jonah Interagency Office (JIO) and Pinedale Anticline Project (PAPO) request public comment on eight oil & gas mitigation projects that have been submitted for potential 2015 funding.
The proposed eight projects collectively improve sage-grouse, mule deer and pronghorn habitat; reduce sage-grouse mortality and provide planning for improved recreational access on the New Fork River.
The JIO/PAPO would like your comments on any of the projects by 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 9, 2015.
Paper copies of the projects are available at the BLM Pinedale Field Office at 1625 West Pine Street, Pinedale, WY or you can email Eric Decker, JIO/PAPO Project Coordinator at egdecker@blm.gov and have him email you copies of the projects and/or submit your comments.
After public comments have been received, JIO/PAPO staff will review the comments and use the information to help them determine priority projects for the JIO/PAPO Board of Directors consideration at the Directors May 21, 2015 meeting. This meeting will be held in Pinedale at the Pinedale Field Office and will be public noticed in early May.
The JIO/PAPO would like to thank you for your interest in what may be potentially funded to help mitigate the effects of oil and gas developments in the Jonah and Pinedale Anticline Project Areas.
For more information, please contact: Eric Decker at (307) 367-5386 or egdecker@blm.gov.
