The Bureau of Indian Affairs has issued a finding of no significant environmental impact from a proposed project to drill for oil or gas on land adjacent to the Coushatta Indian Reservation, in Louisiana.
The proposal calls for the drilling of a well on private land that is close enough to the Indian's trust land, that it would become part of the producing unit if oil or gas are located.
According to an environmental assessment completed by the Bureau, any potential impacts to use of the trust lands, wildlife habitats, and air/water qualities are judged to be either absent of insignificant. The drilling, development and production activity will be done under a proposal made by L&T Exploration Inc.
