Reminder: Thursday, February 7 is the final day for the public to send in comments to the Big Piney Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest (BTNF) regarding the Plains Exploration & Production Company proposal to drill one to three exploratory oil and gas wells on National Forest lands near Bondurant.

The BTNF prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement which was released in February 2007. If the exploratory wells are successful, Phase II of the project would involve potentially developing the field with 16 additional well pads that would involve 133 bottomhole locations over a ten-year period.

Written comments should be sent to:
Greg Clark, District Ranger
Big Piney Ranger District
Box 218
Big Piney, WY 83113

Comments may be submitted by telephone to Greg Clark at 307-276-5810 in Big Piney.

Electronic comments may be sent to comments-intermtn-bridger-teton@fs.fed.us with the subject line “Eagle Prospect and Noble Basin Master Development Plan”.

Comments received, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be considered part of the public record and will be available for public inspection. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, those who submit anonymous comments will not have standing to appeal the subsequent decision.
