COG Operating LLC has applied for an application for permit to drill (APD) on Federal BLM managed surface approximately 15.5 miles southeast of Loving, NM.  In the application, COG Operating LLC is applying to construct, operate and maintain 2 well pads, 1 Central Tank Battery, access roads, buried flowlines, and overhead electric for the proposed well locations. The proposed action also includes a waiver of the Pecos River/Canyon Complex No Surface Occupancy (NSO) lease stipulation for COG lease parcel NMNM115417 in its entirety (400 ac), further discussed in the EA, Chapters 2 and 3. At the time this parcel was nominated and leased, the NSO stipulation, SENM-S-11, BLM proposes to waive was attached erroneously, because the location of the lease parcel does not fall within the Pecos River/Canyon Complex ACEC.
