The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Anticline Working Group (PAWG) will hold one of its quarterly meetings on Thursday, May 5 at 12 p.m. and Friday, May 6 at 10 a.m. in the Pinedale Field Office Rendezvous Room at 1625 W. Pine St., Pinedale, Wyo.
Thursday’s agenda will include a presentation on key factors for successful advisory groups, a summary of the wildlife annual planning meeting, a report and recommendations from the Water Subcommittee and an overview of the 10-year socioeconomic forecast.
Friday’s agenda will include a survey of air quality, including a Sublette County-led discussion of the air toxics study, a presentation from Anticline operators on mitigation measures and an introduction to emission reduction devices from Encana.
The PAWG is tasked with providing recommendations and advice to the BLM on the development and implementation of monitoring plans, mitigation and adaptive management decisions pertinent to oil and gas activities in the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA). All PAWG meetings are open to the public.

The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
