The major objective is to design and manage a program for orderly development of the oil shale resource of northwest Colorado using the following steps: 1. Conduct inventories, clear title, develop plans and environmental assessments to allow the BLM to issue leases for oil shale development and production on federal lands in concert with private oil shale development and production; 2. Prepare a multi-minerals and multiple-resource management plan for the long-term development of all nonenergy minerals and energy minerals in a manner consistent with sound land management principles, taking into consideration physical sciences, biological sciences, and socioeconomic impacts; and 3. Assist private development on approximately 320,000 acres of privately-owned oil shale lands by expediting exchanges, rights-of –way, and other permits on adjacent public lands.
