The Bureau of Land Management has approved a proposal from Coal Energy Group to expand the Wildcat Loadout Facility in Carbon County under an accelerated 14-day environmental review process, initiated in response to the national energy emergency declared by President Donald J. Trump. Monday’s BLM announcement shares that the facility, used to transfer Uinta Basin crude oil from tanker trucks to rail cars, will be reconfigured to accommodate new infrastructure within the current 270-acre project area. The approved project includes adding unloading areas, a tank farm, loading systems, and related facilities to increase project capacity to transload oil. “Responsible energy development plays a key role in supporting local communities and national priorities,” shares BLM Green River District Manager Elijah Waters. “This project reflects our commitment to advancing critical infrastructure while ensuring careful stewardship of Utah’s public lands.” Additional information is available on the BLM National NEPA Register.
