Tres Rios Field Office

The Tres Rios Field Office (TRFO) is responsible for the management and stewardship of more than 664,000 acres of public land in southwestern Colorado. TRFO also administers more than 300,000 acres of federal mineral estate underlying private lands (known as split estate) and has trust responsibility for mineral management on 800,000 acres of Tribal lands.

Public lands in the TRFO are incredibly diverse and rich in natural and cultural resources. From the spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery of the Alpine Triangle to the wealth of Ancestral Puebloan sites in the Four Corners area, Tres Rios lands and resources are truly a national treasure.

BLM Defers TRFO Parcels Nominated for Consideration in February 2013 Oil & Gas Lease Sale
SAN JUAN LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN REVISION
The San Juan Public Lands Center received more than 18,000 public comments pertaining to the Draft Land Management Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) that was published in December 2007. The 120-day formal comment period closed on April 11, 2008. During the comment period, significant new information surfaced regarding oil and gas development potential within the planning area. After reviewing the information, the San Juan Public Lands Center determined that it was necessary to publish a Supplement to the DEIS. The Supplement includes and analyzes the consequences of the new development projections for oil and gas leasing, as well as a more rigorous air quality modeling study (requested by the Environmental Protection Agency).
