Summary: The Blaine County Board of Commissioners is requesting that the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Land Management open the 2015 HiLine Resource Management Plan to public review and prepare a new Draft Environmental Impact Statement. They argue that current regulations inhibit access to oil, gas, and mineral deposits and request a "Chiefly Valuable for Grazing Determination" to investigate the impact of the Woody Island ACEC designation on grazing lands.
Revision of the BLM/Montana HiLine Resource Management Plan, Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), and Investigation of a Flawed Woody Island ACEC Designation.
