In a letter to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke sent today, the BlueGreen Alliance expressed support for keeping policies establishing reasonable and successful best practices for critical aspects of the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) onshore oil and gas program contained in IM 2010-117. The group said the policies, which are being reconsidered by the BLM, ensure responsible production and transparent and fair leasing decisions when it comes to oil and gas development on U.S. public lands.
