The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as lead agency, and in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) has prepared a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final Supplement (Supplement) to the 1992 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the TransColorado Gas Transmission (TransColorado) Project on Federal lands in Colorado and New Mexico. TransColorado Gas Transmission Company is the proponent. Lands managed by the BLM in the Montrose, Craig, and Grand Junction Districts in Colorado, and the Farmington District in New Mexico, and the USFS in the Uncompahgre and San Juan National Forests, Colorado, are crossed by the TransColorado pipeline project. The impacts of implementing the proponent's Proposed Action Alternative, the No Action Alternative, and the Agency Preferred Alternative were analyzed in the Supplement. The 1998 ROD for the Final Supplement to the 1992 FEIS adopts the Agency Preferred Alternative. The 1998 ROD approves the following actions associated with the Agency Preferred Alternative: 1. The construction, operation, maintenance, and termination of known proposed route changes and minor realignments (less than 100 ft.) from the approved pipeline right-of-way (ROW) grant COC-51280. 2. The use of known additional temporary use areas adjacent to the approved ROW or proposed ROW route changes or minor realignments. 3. The minor realignments to the pipeline centerline and the use of relocated temporary work areas, in unspecified locations to accommodate conditions that might be encountered during construction. 4. Modifications to several environmental protection measures contained in the 1992 ROW grant and 1992 ROD. 5. The re-authorization of an expired 25 foot-wide temporary use permit (TUP) for necessary work space adjacent to and parallel to the entire length of the pipeline, including along approved route changes and minor realignments. Further, the amended MLA ROW grant offered to TransColorado will contain stipulations concerning hazardous materials, threatened and endangered species, BLM and USFS sensitive species, Department of Transportation health and safety issues, any future modifications to mitigation measures, valid existing rights, Plan of Development, strict liability, steep slopes special mitigation and visual resource mitigation.
