Farmington Field Office Scheduled Onsite Inspections

What are Onsite Inspections?

Before approval of the APD, an onsite inspection will be conducted with the operator to further identify site-specific resource protection concerns and requirements.  Prior to, or in conjunction with, the onsite inspection, the surface management agency will advise the operator if any special inventories or studies are required, such as for cultural resources or threatened and endangered species.

Simcoe (IKAV) is proposing the Northeast Blanco Unit (NEBU) 606 Pad temporary surface layflat line. The onsite for the proposed NEBU 606 well pad and access road occurred on December 7, 2023. However, the layflat water pipeline route had not been selected at that time.

Simcoe proposes the use of a previously approved layflat route from the Navajo Reservoir on Bureau of Reclamation surface to the NEBU 604 well pad on BLM surface. In addition, a new layflat line is proposed to connect the aforementioned approved layflat to the proposed NEBU 606 well pad for water transportation needs during well completions. The group will meet in the parking lot of Subway in Ignacio, CO on Monday, August 12 at 8:30 a.m. We will then proceed to the layflat location as a group.
