Note: Williams is in the process of finalizing a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the CDOW and BLM which sets forth
commitments for the protection of wintering Mule Deer while year round drilling takes place within a concentrated area of northeast Ryan Gulch. Also associated with this MOU is a Wildlife Management Plan currently in preparation which will further guide activity in this part of the Ryan Gulch field. It is anticipated these documents will be in place by December 1, 2009.
