Project Description

The Bureau of Land Management's Central Coast Field Office is preparing a supplemental environmental impact statement (EIS) for oil and gas leasing and development on public lands in Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties, and portions of Fresno, Merced, and San Joaquin counties. 

The supplemental EIS will update the agency's previous analysis published in 2019 for oil and gas leasing and development on BLM-managed public land and mineral estate in the Central Coast Field Office.  Click "Related Projects and Links" to view the 2019 impact analysis documents on the ePlanning project website.

Lands withdrawn from mineral entry by law, including national monuments and designated wilderness areas, would remain unavailable for leasing and development.  This effort is in response to a settlement agreement in Case No. 3:19-cv-07155-JSC filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on December 5, 2022.

What's New

May 21, 2026: The Bureau of Land Management issued the final supplemental environmental impact statement.

The Notice of Availability is expected to be published by the Environmental Protection Agency in the Federal Register on May 22, 2026.
