GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Garfield County commissioners are supporting a proposed Bureau of Land Management plan for oil shale development in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.
Commissioners got an early look at the BLM’s alternative draft management proposal and voted unanimously this week to support it, The Daily Sentinel reported Friday (http://bit.ly/t2moK3 ).
The proposal would cut 421 square miles from the proposed 3,125 square miles allocated for possible oil shale development in the three states, Commissioner Tom Jankovsky said. The biggest area removed would be the 182-square-mile Adobe Town area inWyoming.
