EPA’s NEPA AND CAA §309 REVIEW WHERE IS EPA WORKING ON ENERGY PROJECTS WHAT IS EPA’S FOCUS WHERE DO WE BEST INFLUENCE/SUPPORT THE NEPA PROCESS SUCCESSES OF WORKING TOGETHER

EPA’s NEPA REVIEW AUTHORITY Commenting as a federal agency - areas of jurisdiction and expertise May refer to CEQ for an unsatisfactory action

EPA’s Clean Air Act §309 Review Authority Independent review authority for NEPA oversight Publicly comment on environmental impacts and adequacy of document (Rating) Must refer to CEQ for an unsatisfactory action

WHERE IS EPA WORKING ON ENERGY PROJECTS THAT IMPACT PARKS (AND FORESTS) SW WY - Grand Teton NP (Bridger-Teton NF) SE WY - (Medicine Bow NF) Southern CO- Mesa Verde NP, (San Juan NF, Weminuche WA) Eastern UT, Vernal - Dinosaur NM SE UT - Arches NP Eastern MT/Western ND & SD - Wind Cave NP, Badlands NP, Yellowstone NP

WHAT’S OUR FOCUS Scope of Analysis: Watershed, Airshed Range of Alternatives: More than # wells, mitigation Mitigation: Broad consideration

WHAT’S OUR FOCUS (cont.) Cumulative Impacts: Cross project, area, state, agency Air Quality: showing highest impact potential Water Quality: runoff, CBM discharge Soil and habitat impacts: erosion, roads, vegetation management

WHAT’S OUR FOCUS (cont.) Management Plans (BLM, USFS), protected areas BIA: Connected impacts, impacts to tribe, EPA direct implementation on tribal lands

WHERE DO WE BEST INFLUENCE/SUPPORT THE NEPA PROCESS Planning: Strategic thinking of where to maximize development, minimize impacts, major mitigation, monitoring/baseline needs Regional Resource Analysis: Multi- agency consensus for future projects

WHERE DO WE BEST INFLUENCE/SUPPORT THE NEPA PROCESS (cont.) Scoping: Level of analysis, mitigation, clarification of EPA’s role, cooperating agency DEIS: Adverse rating, technical modifications FEIS: Minor tweaking of analysis and mitigation ROD: EPA regulatory programs technical support

SUCCESSES OF COLLABORATION-PARTNERSHIP- POSITIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP Federal Leadership Forum - Relationship building, up-front information Planning: Future - Pinedale RMP, Rawlins RMP, Roan Plateau RMP Regional Resource Analysis - SW WY Air Quality Analysis, Powder River Surface Water Discharge Analysis Scoping - Pinedale Anticline O&G EIS DEIS - Jonah II O&G EIS, Powder River Basin CBM EISs (WY, MT)
