Wilderness Workshop asks Rifle City Council to consider Roan Plateau protection resolution

Wilderness Workshop has urged Rifle City Council to oppose future oil and gas drilling on the Roan Plateau as the Bureau of Land Management prepares a December lease sale. The BLM is considering 113 Colorado parcels covering about 127,000 acres, including land on the plateau. The nonprofit says the parcels could be offered again in future even if they are not sold in December.
