Land Use

Zoning/Subdivision Reviews

SER C.D. continues to provide written comments to the county planning commission for all proposed zone changes and subdivision reviews. As Carbon County deals with the influx of people due to energy development, the District’s input on land use issues is vital.

Natural Gas Development

At the state and federal level, SER C.D. works in cooperation with agencies that manage lands within the District. Arla Strasser, Resource Specialist, works with the BLM as part of the Interdisciplinary Team on the Atlantic Rim Natural Gas Field Development Project and the Seminoe Road Natural Gas Project. The District provides environmental input concerning energy development and its impacts to Ag producers and residents. An important goal of the District is working to assure Ag interests are supported and protected and that resources necessary to sustain productive operations continue to be available.

Medicine Bow National Forest

SER C.D. has established a good working relationship

with the Medicine Bow National Forest and as a cooperating agency provides input on the Forest Plan Implementation and other natural resource issues on forest land within the boundaries of SER C.D.

BLM Resource Management Plans

SER C.D. is a cooperating agency, with the BLM, in development of the Lander Office and Rawlins Office Resource Management Plan. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is complete and the Final EIS is the next step in the

NEPA process. The DEIS documents the comprehensive analysis of alternatives for the planning and management of public lands and resources administered by the BLM.

Sweetwater Level I Study

SER C.D. is working with Popo Agie Conservation District in coordinating the study. Producers in the northern end of the District will be included in this project and SER CD will work directly with them.
