The Bureau of Land Management is releasing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for public comment, for the proposed Overland Pass Pipeline Piceance Basin Lateral Natural Gas Liquids Project. 

 

The proposed 152-mile natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline project consists of construction, operation, and maintenance of a 14-inch diameter buried steel pipeline and related facilities that would originate southwest of Meeker, Colorado and terminate southeast of Wamsutter, Wyoming. Facilities would include a 2,000-foot, 6-inch diameter lateral facility connection pipeline, manual shut-off valves at regular intervals, pigging facilities, and two meter stations. The proposed pipeline would transport a total of 100,000 barrels of NGL per day. Approximately 96 percent of the proposed pipeline route would run parallel to existing pipelines, and/or other utility corridors.

 

CDs of the EA are available for review at the following BLM offices: 

Copies of this EA have been sent to affected federal, state, and local government agencies, and to those individuals who previously requested copies.
