BLM seeks input for proposed uranium exploration in Fremont County
Lander, Wyo. – The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public input on a proposal for exploration drilling in Fremont County. If approved, Rush Uranium Wyoming, LLC could drill up to 232 holes looking for uranium and construct associated infrastructure on public, state, and private lands approximately 15 miles northeast of Shoshoni.
BLM posted Rush Uranium Wyoming’s Plan of Operations on the agency’s ePlanning website at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2038045/510 and opened a 30-day public scoping period on an Environmental Assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act.
Public scoping is the public’s first opportunity to provide BLM comments and additional information to help the agency prepare the environmental assessment and address any concerns the public may have with the proposal.
Public scoping comments can be emailed to blm_wy_lfo_nepa_projects@blm.gov or mailed to the BLM Lander Field Office, 1335 Main Street, Lander, WY 82520. For your input to be considered, please submit comments by Jun. 4, 2025.
