JIO and PAPO Boards of Directors to Meet
The Jonah Interagency Office (JIO) and Pinedale Anticline Project Office (PAPO) Boards of Directors will meet on May 2 and 3 at the Pinedale Field Office (PFO) at 1625 W. Pine St. in Pinedale, Wyo.
A field trip is planned for the morning of May 2 and will depart from the PFO at 7:30 a.m. The field trip will focus on mule deer and other wildlife mitigation projects within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area. It is open to the public who must provide their own transportation suitable for gravel roads.
On May 2, the JIO Board will meet at 1:30 p.m. and on May 3, the PAPO Board will meet at 8 a.m.; both meetings will be at the PFO and are open to the public. Each board will review budgets and receive a presentation on the database management systems that track the degree of disturbance and reclamation in both the Jonah and Pinedale Anticline gas fields. The PAPO Board will also review and discuss potential projects up for 2012 funding.

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.
