2009 BLM BMP Award to Green River Energy Resources Inc.: "[Seek] the expertise of third-party contractors to design appropriate mitigation measures that would address sensitive resource concerns typically found in areas with wilderness-type characteristics, [resulting in] very low-impact exploration without a permanent footprint on the landscape." |

"Green River Energy Resources Inc. was recognized for Distinguished Integration of BMPs into Geophysical Exploration for its work on the La Sal 3D geophysical project near Moab, Utah. One of the key issues associated with this seismic acquisition project was that it was highly visible and controversial to the public because portions of the operation took place within an area nominated by a citizens' group to be a proposed wilderness area. Green River Energy Resources sought the expertise of third-party contractors to design appropriate mitigation measures that would address sensitive resource concerns typically found in areas with wilderness-type characteristics. The result was very low-impact exploration without a permanent footprint on the landscape." |
