BLM Approves Water Well Rebuild and Grazing Allotment Renewals in Utah
Water Well 91 Rebuild:
The Bureau of Land Management Richfield Field Office has issued the Categorical Exclusion and Decision Record for NEPA number: DOI-BLM-UT-C020-2026-0005-CE. The BLM received an application from Moore Land & Livestock that proposed to re-drill the previously existing Well 91 and install a water tank and trough on the south side of Jeffrey Well Road. The BLM has decided to allow the re-drilling of Well 91 on public lands managed by the BLM Richfield Field Office. The well project will be confined to the previously disturbed construction footprint of 1-acre that contained the original well and troughs. The old well will be filled and capped for safety. The decision record can be found at: https://eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home/?id=778B85E6-4A6F-F111-AB0D-001DD804183B
