The Oregon/Washington State Director has elected to delay offering parcels in Washington State. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is reviewing issues related to compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, National Historic Preservation Act, and other BLM policies. Therefore, the September 20, 2007, oil and gas lease auction is cancelled. If you have any questions, please phone Donna Kauffman at (503) 808-6162.
