the Roan Plateau!

Statement (DEIS), which plan would allow drilling on Colorado's

reasonable alternatives considering viable and applicable

for the extraction of all natural gas beneath the Plateau,
without needing to impact wilderness areas on top of the
Plateau. In addition, RtE also joined in the broader comments
submitted by a coalition of groups under the umbrella organizational
name, "Save Roan Plateau." Read the full Rock
