The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has reviewed current emissions data and has made a preliminary determination that Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) operators have met the requirements for Visibility Milestone #2 as stipulated in the 2008 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision.
The preliminary determination is based on a combination of reported 2011 and estimated 2012 NOx (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide) emissions. The estimated emissions total of 1,618.28 tons/year is below the modeled threshold value of 1,703.5 tons/year which predicted an impact of 10 days or less of visibility impairment greater than one deciview within the Bridger Wilderness Area.
