Trout Unlimited (TU) submitted scoping comments on the True Oil, LLC – Lander Peak Area Exploratory Proposal (the “Proposal) in both 2012 and 2015. Trout Unlimited respectfully objects to the Forest Service’s Draft Decision and Finding of No Significant Impact authorizing the Proposal for the reasons we will discuss below. Statement of the Issue(s): The Bridger-Teton National Forest Draft Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact by the Big Piney District Ranger for the True Oil—Lander Peak Area Exploratory Proposal does not meet the required “hard look” on environmental impacts for a major federal action. The Forest Service failed to analyze a proposed Master Development Plan (MDP) to drill up to 40 new wells in the South Cottonwood drainage submitted by True Oil, LLC, in October 2010 to the Bridger-Teton National Forest.

  • Record of Decision Oil & Gas Leasing U.S. Forest Service
    USDA RECORD OF DECISION OIL & GAS LEASING U.S. FOREST SERVICE WYOMING RANGE BRIDGER-TETON NATIONAL FOREST SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYOMING DECISION I have decided to select Alternative 1, not authorizing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to offer 35 lease parcels located within the Wyoming Range and totaling 44,720 acres, at this time. This decision supersedes prior Forest Service decisions made in June 2005 to authorize BLM to offer these lease parcels (See Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) Appendix E). BACKGROUND The Forest Service determined in the Bridger-Teton National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan) adopted on March 2, 1990 that the subject land would be administratively available for oil and gas leasing, subject to certain constraints, in accordance with 36 CFR 228.102. The Forest Plan also contains goals, objectives, standards, and guidelines that impose further limitations on activities that may affect surface resources, such as operations and development related to oil and gas leases. This decision and the supporting environmental analysis was reviewed, and some of the constraints on oil and gas leasing activities further refined for each of the involved Management Areas in three environmental assessments and Decision Notices prepared in 1990, 1991 and 1993. Then in January and February of 2004, the Forest Service completed a Supplemental Biological Assessment, Supplemental Biological Evaluation, and a Supplemental Information Report, determining that no further environmental analysis would be needed to authorize BLM to offer the subject lands for lease. On June 15, 2005, the Forest Service authorized the BLM to offer the subject lands for lease with specified stipulations in accordance with 36 CFR 228.102(e).

Pecora, Director Library of Congress catalog-card No. 73-609781 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS PRIMITIVE AREAS In accordance with the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Conference Report on Senate bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines are making mineral surveys of wilderness and primi­ tive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System. Areas classed as "primitive" were not included in the Wilderness System, but the act provides that each primitive area be studied for its suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. This bulletin reports the results of a mineral survey in the Glacier Primitive Area and vicinity, Wyoming. The area discussed in the report includes the primitive area, as denned, and some bordering areas that may come under discussion when the area is considered for wilderness status.

  • Here the Desert Meets the Mountains”
    BigBig PineyPiney && MarbletonMarbleton WyomingWyoming VISITOR’S GUIDE “Where the Desert Meets the Mountains” WWW.BIGPINEY-MARBLETON.COM @Big-Piney-Marbleton-Community-Development @bigpineymarbleton HISTORY The commonly asked question “Why are there two towns so close together – Marbleton and Big Piney?” has a simple answer: difference of opinion. Local historians agree that Daniel B. Budd created the town of Big Piney by locating the basics of a blacksmith shop, general store, post office and hotel, at the site of his 1879 homestead. Soon after his family joined him there, he donated land for a school, effectively designating a permanent town at the present-day location. When Daniel B. Budd died in 1902, his family continued to homestead and develop the outlying areas as part of a greater community. Early pictures make it seem that there was plenty of room for a town to grow at Big Piney, but one of the sons, Charles, felt that Big Piney’s location was constricted by the boggy, wet meadows which surrounded the town incorporated in 1913. A mile north of Middle Piney Creek and Big Piney, Charles Budd built on property of his own, offering an adjacent town on higher, dryer soil. That town, Marbleton, was incorporated in 1914. Budd and his partner Hugh McKay brought a thousand head of cattle from Nevada hop- ing to ship them at Point of Rocks, but winter caught up to them here in the Green River Valley. The following year Dan Budd moved his family here and that is how the settle- ment of this town began.
