Oil and gas related activities on lands administered by the Albuquerque Field Office are also included. BLM will continue to manage subsurface aspects of oil and gas leases under lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Forest Service, but surface management will be determined by those agencies’ land use planning documents.†Pg. 2. “The management objectives and philosophies developed in this plan are intended to be applied only to the public surface and mineral estate.†Pg. 1-2 |
