Last chance to comment on carbon sequestration project

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comment on a proposal to permanently store carbon dioxide in underground rock formations on public land in Carter County. The Denbury Carbon Solutions, LLC project would store carbon dioxide in more than 100,000 acres of subsurface pore space.

The project would include construction and maintenance of roads, well pads, pipelines, pump stations, an electric powerline, and operation of underground injection control Class 6 wells under the jurisdiction of Environmental Protection Agency Region 8.

The comment period was originally scheduled for thirty days and was set to end in October, but after a public meeting in Ekalaka on October 12th, the period was extended another thirty days and now ends on November 27th.

Relevant documents, maps and a venue for submitting comments are available on the BLM e-Planning project website: https://eplanning.blm.gov. Search using the NEPA number: DOI-BLM-MT-C020-2023-0070-EA.
