TRES RIOS FIELD OFFICE


The Tres Rios Field Office (TRFO) is

responsible for the management and

stewardship of more than 664,000

acres of public land in southwestern

Colorado.  TRFO also administers more

than 300,000 acres of federal mineral

estate underlying private lands

(known as split estate) and has trust

responsibility for mineral management

on 800,000 acres of Tribal lands.

Public lands in the TRFO are incredibly

diverse and rich in natural and

cultural resources.  From the

spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery of

the Alpine Triangle to the wealth of

Ancestral Puebloan sites in the Four

Corners area, Tres Rios lands and

resources are truly a national treasure!

CURRENT MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

 

SAN JUAN LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN REVISION

The San Juan Public Lands Center received more than 18,000 public comments pertaining to the Draft Land Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that was published in December 2007.  The 120-day formal comment period closed on April 11, 2008.  During the comment period, significant new information surfaced regarding oil and gas development potential within the planning area.

After reviewing the information, the San Juan Public Lands Center determined that it was necessary to publish a Supplement to the DEIS.  The Supplement analyzes the consequences of new development projections for oil and gas leasing, and includes a more rigorous air quality modeling study (requested by the Environmental Protection Agency).
