BLM Seeks Public Comment on Anticline Electrification Environmental Assessment

Shelley Gregory with the Bureau of Land Management Pinedale Field Office says they are seeking public input on the environmental assessment for the proposed Anticline Electrification Phase I Project.






It also includes a 10-mile reroute of the authorized Paradise 230 kV transmission line. Currently, this line is authorized to parallel Highway 191 to Highway 351 then follow Highway 351 to the Paradise Road. The transmission line reroute would go from Highway 191 west to the Falcon Compressor area and then north along the backbone of the Anticline to Highway 351 parallel to the above mentioned 25 kV distribution line. 






Gregory says the electrification project would also reduce the amount of ozone forming chemicals that enter the local environment and improve air quality in the region. A printed copy or compact disk of the EA is available at blm.gov. Comments can be mailed or delivered to the Pinedale field office with “Electrification Phase 1” in the subject line by June 20th. For more information, call Bill Wadsworth at 307-367-5341.
