The Bureau of Land Management Glenwood Springs Energy Office is seeking public comment on an oil and gas development proposal nine miles east of Parachute, Colo.

Williams Production RMT Co. has submitted a “master development plan” to BLM for the Spruce Creek area south of Interstate 70. The plan details Williams’ proposal to develop 58 new wells from one existing and three proposed well pads over the next three to four years for the 688-acre area, which includes 486 acres of BLM-managed lands. The proposal also includes constructing 4,200 feet of new roads and installing 9,163 feet of buried pipeline.

The deadline for public comments on the proposal is July 23.
