BLM opens public scoping for oil, gas lease parcels sale

The Bureau of Land Management has opened a 15-day public scoping period on six nominated Oil and Gas Lease parcels located in Garfield, Sheridan, Richland, and Roosevelt counties Montana. The public scoping period will end Oct. 21, 2015. A parcel list and maps are available at http://on.doi.gov/1LQChXI.

This public scoping process is intended to solicit input on issues, impacts and potential alternatives that the BLM will address in an upcoming NEPA document and is only the first of several opportunities for the public to comment on this Oil and Gas Lease Sale.

The lease sale is tentatively scheduled for May 4, 2016. The final acreage amount will be determined after the full public review process.
