Dear Mr. Broyles and Ms. Copping,

I am writing to you today because the proposed North Fork Mancos Master Development Plan (NFMMDP) is bad for the North Fork Valley and will accelerate the current alarming state of local warming. The Supplemental EA on climate impacts fails to consider local warming, the cumulative effect of greenhouse gas emissions, and new oil and gas development is not necessary to meet future energy demand.

Delta and Gunnison County have already warmed beyond global catastrophic levels. Delta County has warmed 2.1°C, Gunnison County 1.5°C, the Bureau of Land Management’s Uncompahgre Field Office 1.9°C, and the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forest 1.9°C. We are already experiencing the devastating effects of this change in climate, including extreme weather, prolonged mega-drought, increased and intensifying wildfire risk and, most recently the collapse of Highway 133 between Paonia and Somerset.

The Supplemental EA also does not reflect the International Energy Agency’s finding that new oil and gas development is not necessary beyond what has already been permitted and leased in order to meet the world’s energy needs into the future.

Climate change is the existential threat of our time and to the North Fork Valley. Egregiously, the Supplemental EA does not acknowledge the cumulative effect of greenhouse emissions produced by this project on climate change. The Supplemental EA does not adequately analyze the climate impacts of this 35-well project.

Sincerely,
