Notice of Intent To Prepare a Supplement to the Blackleaf
Environmental Impact Statement To Analyze a Drilling Proposal in the
Blackleaf Unit
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a supplement to the Blackleaf
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a drilling proposal in the
Blackleaf Gas Field, Teton County, Montana.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 20, 1994, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
received a Notice of Staking (NOS) for a proposed well in the Blackleaf
Unit. The proposed well is located in northwestern Teton County about
25 miles northwest of Choteau, Montana. The NOS is the first step in
the process and allows an operator to survey a location and access
route to a proposed well. An Application for Permit to Drill (APD)
including the subsurface plan (which details the drilling program) and
the surface use plan (which describes any surface disturbances) will be
submitted to BLM following an onsite inspection. Upon receipt of the
APD, the BLM will analyze the proposal.
DATES: A public scoping meeting has been scheduled for August 15th and
16th, 1994, in the American Room of the Heritage Inn, 1700 Fox Farm
Road, in Great Falls, Montana.
ADDRESS: Comments should be sent to Richard L. Hopkins, Area Manager,
Great Falls Resource Area, 812 14th St. N., Great Falls, MT 59401, 406-
727-0503.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tad Day, Great Falls Resource Area,
812 14th St. N., Great Falls, MT 59401, 406-727-0503.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM issued a final Blackleaf EIS in June
1992 which analyzed the impacts of reasonably foreseeable oil and gas
development activities in the Blackleaf Unit. A record of decision was
not prepared, pending receipt of a proposal for oil and gas activity
within the Blackleaf Unit.
Upon completion of the analysis for the proposal, the BLM will
issue a decision on the APD and the final Blackleaf EIS.
Dated: July 1, 1994.
David L. Mari,
Lewistown District Manager.
