Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Conduct Public Scoping Meetings for the Proposed St. Johns, Arizona COINF2/INF-Helium Project

Pursuant to section 102(20)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), the BLM, Socorro Field Office, New Mexico, will be preparing an EIS regarding the proposal to develop a carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and helium field in Apache County, Arizona, and Catron County, New Mexico. The CO 2 -helium field appears to underlie approximately 500 square miles of private, state, and federal lands. The EIS will identify the potential impacts that the development of a CO 2 -helium field and subsequent activities could have on the environment and identify appropriate measures to mitigate those impacts. A Federal Register Notice dated October 2, 1998, announced the intent to prepare the EIS. In this notice, BLM announces public information and scoping meetings for the proposed action and EIS.
