From Merchant Herald:
Today, Citizens for a Healthy Community and the Western Environmental Law Center (WELC) filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado to force the government to reveal the names of the individuals or corporations that nominated 30,000 acres of public lands in Colorado’s North Fork Valley for oil and gas drilling.
The nominated parcels were included in the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) August 2012 oil and gas lease sale; however, due to overwhelming public opposition spearheaded by Citizens for a Healthy Community and WELC, BLM announced in May that it would defer the lease sale.
