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.

The BLM has scheduled an onsite visit for the proposed Nageezi Unit to White Crow Unit Pipelines and Temporary Use Permits (TUPs).
The Nageezi Unit to White Crow Unit project would consist of a 4.9 acre, four pipelines for water, crude oil and two gas pipelines, not to exceed 12-inches in diameter. The project would consist of 5,312.32-foot-long buried pipelines within a 40-foot-wide right-of-way. The proposed project would also include 10 TUPs, consisting of 1.4 acres. The TUPs would measure various sizes which would be used for pipeline crossings, road crossings and wash bores. The project would be used to deliver minerals to an existing infrastructure and mineral sales to the southwest area.
The proposed project would be located in section 25, T. 24 N., R. 09 W., San Juan County, New Mexico.
Meeting Location: We will meet to review the proposed project in the field on Thursday, June 18, 2026. Attendees should meet at the Nageezi Post Office on US Hwy 550 (36.2708008, -107.7230665) at 9 a.m. We will then proceed to the project location as a group.
