(Pinedale, Wyo) - The BLM’s Pinedale Field Office has taken an important step toward finalizing analysis of The Riley Ridge Development in Sublette County, Wyoming by releasing a Draft Environmental Assessment. The release of the EA begins a 30-day public comment period that will close on June 8, 2017. The EA is available for review at http://bit.ly/2pz1ouz.
The project is being proposed by Denbury Resources, Inc. to develop four natural gas wells on approximately 25 acres. The proposed development also includes upgrading 2.4 miles of existing access roads, connecting two existing shut-in wells, and installation of approximately 18 miles of flowlines requiring about 100 acres of short-term surface disturbance. The project would create about 60 temporary jobs per year mostly during construction and well development activities.
