Environmental Assessment for Oil and Gas Well Plugging and Reclamation

Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (NRRA) is inviting public comments regarding the Environmental Assessment for Well Plugging and Reclamation.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), this EA was prepared to analyze and disclose potential impacts from implementing the no action alternative and the NPS preferred alternative for plugging and reclaiming orphaned oil and gas wells. The preferred alternative would plug and reclaim at least 45 known orphaned oil and gas wells per appropriate federal and state standards, and would reclaim associated access roads, as appropriate.

Comments by mail may be sent to the postal address below. Comments may also be made on-line at the NPS Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) website: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/biso.
