BLM issues final EIS analyzing Thompson Divide oil, gas leases

The US Bureau of Land Management released a final environmental impact statement analyzing 65 oil and gas leases that were issued in the White River National Forest in Colorado from 1995 to 2012. The agency’s preferred alternative in the final EIS would cancel the 25 undeveloped leases, apply new stipulations to the remaining leases that are not currently producing, and make no or only minor adjustments for leases that are producing.
