BLM Pinedale Field Office to Hold Annual Planning Meeting for Development
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pinedale Field Office (PFO) will hold its Annual Planning Meeting (APM) for Development on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 9:00 a.m. in the PFO Rendezvous Room at 1625 W. Pine St, Pinedale, Wyo.
Topics for this APM will include Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) operator presentations on their development activity over the past year and projected activities for the coming year, an update on reclamation monitoring data, a review of BLM permitting and inspections and the executive review team decision on operator one-year development plans.
The meeting is open to the public and there will be an opportunity for public comment.
An APM is required by the 2008 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision for the PAPA. To more fully address topics of community interest, the PFO has subdivided the original APM into three annual meetings: one focused on development, one on wildlife and one on air, water and socioeconomics.
Please contact Tim Zebulske at 307-367-5336 for more information or visit www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/field_offices/Pinedale/anticline/planning.html.
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.
