The Bridger-Teton National Forest will host public meetings on the oil and gas leasing proposal in the Noble Basin area located in Sublette County, Wyoming in the Hoback Basin of the Wyoming Range. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the proposed Master Development Plan for Plains Exploration and Production Company (PXP) was made available to the public in December 2010.

The meetings will consist of an open house forum where information on the DEIS will be available. Representatives from the Forest Service and from PXP will be present to answer questions. All members of the public, Federal, State and local agencies, Tribes, and other interested parties are invited to attend.
