Pinedale Anticline Working Group to Meet
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Anticline Working Group (PAWG) will hold its quarterly meeting at 9 a.m. on Nov. 8 in the Pinedale Field Office’s Rendezvous Room at 1625 W. Pine St. in Pinedale, Wyo.
Topics of discussion will include an update on the schedule for meeting air quality milestones, a review of the recommendation drafted at the previous PAWG meeting in August, a discussion of vacancies on the PAWG and an update on the wildlife over- and under-passes on State Highway 191.
The PAWG will also be asked to provide advice regarding the use of enhanced reclamation practices developed for oil and gas disturbance as a result of the Wildlife Monitoring and Mitigation Matrix mule deer trigger in 2010.
The agenda for the Nov. 8 meeting is available on the PAWG webpage at http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/field_offices/Pinedale/pawg.html and at the Sublette County Library at 155 S. Tyler Ave. in Pinedale.
The PAWG recognizes that not all interested parties are able to attend meetings in person. Any member of the public is encouraged to submit suggestions or questions regarding meeting topics to BLM_WY_PAWG@blm.gov.
For more information, please contact Pinedale Field Manager Shane DeForest at 307-367-5302 or sdefores@blm.gov.
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.
