The BLM is starting the environmental review process for a proposed 36-inch buried crude oil pipeline in Montana. This notice kicks off the public scoping period, where agencies and the public can weigh in on what issues the full Environmental Impact Statement should address. It'll affect public lands managed by the BLM and anyone with an interest in the pipeline's route, including landowners, tribes, and conservation groups.

In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), and the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended (MLA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to consider the effects of constructing and operating a 36-inch buried crude oil pipeline and by this notice is announcing the beginning of the scoping process to solicit public comments and identify issues.
