The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho State Office received an expression of interest for approximately 836.23 acres of lands located in Bonneville County, Idaho, approximately 10 miles northwest of Gray, Idaho, to be offered in a competitive oil and gas lease sale.  The entire acreage involves split estate minerals where the mineral estate is reserved to the Federal government and the surface is privately owned.  The legal description of the parcel, serialized as case IDI-38711, is as follows: Boise Meridian, Idaho, Township 3 South, Range 43 East, Section 7, lot 3, NE¼SW¼, N½SE¼; Section 8, NE¼; Section 9, E½;  Section 17, E½E½; Section 18, SE¼SE¼.  The BLM Pocatello Field Office has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) which analyzes the impacts of offering the 836.23 acre parcel for competitive leasing and signed a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).  The FONSI, EA, and associated documents can be found at the "Links" tab to the left.
