CONSERVATION GROUPS OPPOSE ESTONIAN COMPANY’S EXPANSION OF ITS UTAH OIL SHALE STRIP MINE

摘要

A coalition of environmental groups has come out in opposition to a massive expansion of oil-shale strip mining in the Uinta Basin. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement that would allow rights-of-way for the Enefit American Oil Utility Project, a corridor of natural gas pipelines, water lines, power lines and roads to supply proposed mines.
