RIFLE – —The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments on a revised natural gas pipeline proposal south of Rifle.
In December 2011, BLM released a proposal for a 22.3-mile natural gas pipeline called the Kokopelli Phase II, and two water lines that would share the pipeline trench for 4.1 miles. Construction on the pipeline and water lines was proposed to begin in 2012.
Due to current natural gas market conditions, Bargath LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams Midstream, has said the gas pipeline is delayed at least until 2013.
Construction on the water lines, which are proposed by WPX Energy, is still proposed for 2012. Splitting the project means excavating separate trenches at different times.
