Farmington Field Office Scheduled Onsite Inspections

What are Onsite Inspections?

Before approval of an application for permit to drill  (APD), an onsite inspection will be conducted with the operator to further identify site-specific resource protection concerns and requirements.  Prior to, or in conjunction with, the onsite inspection, the surface management agency will advise the operator if any special inventories or studies are required, such as for cultural resources or threatened and endangered species.
