Bureau of Land Management Publishes Draft EIS for the Normally Pressured Lance (NPL)

Pinedale, WY, July 7, 2017 – Today the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Normally Pressured Lance (NPL) Natural Gas Development Project for public review and comment over the next 45-days.

The BLM prepared the Draft EIS to analyze the potential impacts of and alternatives to a proposal by Jonah Energy, LLC (Jonah Energy) for natural gas development operations on its federal leases within a portion of Sublette County, Wyoming. The proposed NPL Project is located approximately 35 miles south of Pinedale, Wyoming and encompasses 140,859 acres. BLM project documents can be found at the BLM ePlanning website.

Jonah Energy is proposing up to 3,500 directionally-drilled wells to be drilled over a period of 10 years balancing economic growth, stability and environmental protections. The BLM should issue a record of decision in 2017 detailing the most appropriate level of operational flexibility and regulatory compliance to achieve that balance. A timely decision is critical to begin development in 2018. Additional information on the project can be found at www.JonahEnergyNPL.com.

Public comments to the Draft EIS must be submitted to the BLM and received by August 21, 2017. Comments can be emailed to blm_wy_npl_eis@blm.gov or mailed to:
