BLM prepared the FEIS to provide a basis for deciding whether to approve additional infill drilling in the Jonah Field, and if so, what approach balances all resources uses to the best advantage. The document was prepared to analyze the potential impacts of the project. Appendix C lists operator committed practices. Operators have made a commitment to implement these practices throughout the life-of-project (LOP), and the impact analyses provided in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) take into consideration the implementation of these measures based on this commitment.

Required vs.
Recommended: |
Most practices in the FEIS are recommended (see WY62), those of Appendix C are required -- " [B]y additionally including them as Operator- committed practices, the various Operators have made a commitment to implement them throughout the life-of-project (LOP), and the impact analyses provided in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) take into consideration the implementation of these measures based on this commitment. " Page C-1 Note that some air quality BMPs in Appendix C are only committed to by one operator, but are still categorized as "required".

Federal -- " The purpose of the proposed development is also to enable the commercial production by Operators of federally owned natural gas in conformance with BLM RMP oil and gas objectives, pursuant to their rights under existing oil and gas leases issued by the BLM, and to prevent drainage of federal minerals by wells located on adjacent non-federally owned lands (i.e., State of Wyoming lands)....The decision BLM will make as a result of the analysis presented in this FEIS is whether to allow, and under what conditions to allow, the development, operation, maintenance, and reclamation of expanded development/surface disturbances on federal land in the JIDPA."
