On October 15, 2004 Famcor Oil, Inc. (Famcor), acting in accordance with 36 CFR subsection 9.32(a), submitted to the National Park Service (NPS) a proposed plan of operations to directionally drill and operate a 2 inch flowline crossing the Menard Creek Corridor Unit (Unit) of Big Thicket National Preserve (Preserve). On December 17, 2004, the Superintendent determined that Famcor’s plan of operations contained the information required by 36 CFR § 9.36 and therefore was substantially complete, and the NPS then proceeded with its formal review. As part of its analysis of Famcor’s plan of operations, the NPS prepared an environmental assessment (EA).
