NRDC Document Bank: Wildlands
Comments on the BLM Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Oil Shale and Tar Sands Development in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming
The Bureau of Land Management issued a draft plan for industrial development of oil shale and tar sands resources on public lands in the Rocky Mountain region at the expense of all other uses. This plan would be devastating for wildlands currently valued for wildlife habitat, clean drinking water, outdoor recreation, wilderness qualities, and more. It would also greatly increase global warming emissions.
