BLM postpones Washington State Land Sales
Posted on June 5th, 2008 by Lawrence Molloy
Via Energy Current. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has postponed the scheduled leases for Washington and Oregon. The land lease involves the two states but the point of concern appears to be Oregon’s Newberry Crater. From the May 27th, 2008 article.
After receiving nominations for several parcels of geothermal leases, BLM contacted the U.S. Forest Service and its district offices. The Forest Service informed BLM that more environmental studies must be done in the Newberry Volcanic Area before a sale could be held. The Forest Services estimates that they will have leasing consent decision by October 2008 at the earliest.
