CHEYENNE (AP) - Gov. Dave Freudenthal on Friday said the U.S. Bureau of Land Management's latest draft of a plan for managing oil and gas drilling in the Pinedale area was unacceptable.

Freudenthal's 5,000-word letter to officials in the BLM Pinedale office said cooperating agencies, such as Wyoming state government, have been largely excluded from the plan's development.

"My expectations are high; it is absolutely imperative that we work in full cooperation to craft a plan that responsibly and appropriately addresses all the important resource values that will be affected," Freudenthal said in the letter.

Friday was the deadline for comments on the revised Pinedale resource management plan, which will determine how the BLM manages natural resources for the next 20 to 25 years in the 1,875-square-mile area.

Kellie Roadifer of the Pinedale BLM Office said a final decision is scheduled to be issued on June 27.

Roadifer said the BLM held several meetings with cooperating agencies as it worked on the draft plan.

"We held a meeting here in Pinedale in December, we've had conference calls - maybe not as many as some of the cooperators would have liked - but there's been some communication during the time frame," she said.

Among other concerns raised in his letter, Freudenthal said the draft plan doesn't go far enough to address potential impacts to air and water quality, socio-economics in the Pinedale area, wildlife habitat fragmentation, and development effects on winter range and migration routes for big game and sage grouse.

Roadifer said she would need to review Freudenthal's letter before responding to all of his concerns, but she said the BLM has done some work since the draft was written to address impacts of energy development on local communities.

"I'm concerned about creating a plan that works for the BLM, as well as for the cooperating agencies, and lays out a sensible framework for allocation of resources and management of public lands in the Pinedale management area," Roadifer said.
