The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rawlins Field Office (RFO) will host an Atlantic Rim Natural Gas Development Review team meeting on Tuesday, July 31, beginning at 10 a.m. at the field office.
The meeting will give the public an opportunity to hear updates from BLM specialists on wildlife, big game and song birds, as well as mule deer collaring and Greater Sage-Grouse monitoring techniques. Progress reports will be presented by the Muddy Creek monitoring working groups.
The Atlantic Rim Project Area (ARPA) is a multi-operator project to drill roughly 2,000 gas wells south of Rawlins, Wyo. on approximately 270,080 acres, of which 173,672 acres (64 percent) are federal surface, 82,348 acres (31 percent) are private surface, and 14,060 acres (5 percent) are state surface. The ARPA final environmental impact statement was issued in 2006, and the record of decision was signed in March 2007. Site-specific environmental assessments are conducted for each new development within the ARPA. During the 30 to 50 year life of the project, the development is expected to produce nearly 1.35 billion cubic feet of natural gas, providing enough natural gas to heat 19.3 million homes for one year.
