"The Bureau of Land Management has developed a draft analysis that calls for removing some key protections from Obama-era greater sage grouse conservation plans in Wyoming, including easing restrictions on oil and gas development and expanding some permitting exemptions.
That's according to a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) obtained by E&E News after top Interior officials this month outlined a series of changes in the Cowboy State with state and local government officials.
The Wyoming draft EIS has not been finalized and likely won't be released to the public until at least next month, a source said. It covers only the 17 million acres of BLM-managed lands in the state."
