    July 1, 2019 Leah Waldner Fluid Mineral Leasing Coordinator Utah State Office Bureau of Land Management 440 West 200 South, Suite 500 Salt Lake City, UT 84101 Email: [email protected] Re: Outdoor Alliance Comments on Utah September 10, 2019 Lease Sale, Green River District (DOI-BLM-UT-0000-2019-0003-Other_NEPA-VFO/PFO -EA) and Richfield Field Office (DOI-BLM-UT-0000-2019-0003-Other_NEPA-RFO-EA) Dear Ms. Waldner: As representatives of the outdoor recreation community, Outdoor Alliance writes to offer comments on the Bureau of Land Management’s Utah September 2019 Competitive Oil and Gas Lease Sale. Through this sale, BLM Utah is proposing to offer 149 parcels/183,668 acres in lands managed by the Canyon Country, Color Country, Green River, and West Desert Districts in their September lease sale. In particular, we are concerned about proposed lease parcels that could impair recreation assets and experiences in the Price and Richfield Field Offices. As recreation advocates, Outdoor Alliance is concerned that the BLM may disregard potential impacts from these proposed lease sales to specific recreation areas and other important values. Because the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects that would result from implementation of this lease sale would be detrimental to recreation experiences and local communities that have invested in recreation assets, the BLM should more fully evaluate the effects of this competitive lease sale on the region’s recreation economy and how it would affect future growth opportunities in the local business community and socioeconomics regionally. In addition, throughout these environmental assessments, the BLM fails to acknowledge the existence of specific recreation assets that should receive protective lease stipulations and detailed lease notices.
