This Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Ruby Pipeline Project was prepared by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in response to a ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (case nos. 10-72356, 10-72552, 10-72762, 10-72768, and 10-72775). The ruling directed the BLM to undertake a revised cumulative effects analysis of the Ruby Pipeline Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as it related to the cumulative loss of sagebrush steppe vegetation and habitat. This Final SEIS contains supplemental information about the original and present condition of the sagebrush steppe vegetation and habitat, and analyzes the cumulative impacts of the Ruby Pipeline Project based on the supplemental information and comments on the Draft SEIS from interested stakeholders. This Final SEIS tiers to and incorporates by reference the information and analyses contained in the Ruby Pipeline Project final EIS.
