Yellowstone Road Work

Submitted by ErickPauley on Tue, 06/26/2012 - 10:04

 

Road and parking area improvement projects are scheduled to begin the first week of July in Yellowstone National Park's Tower Junction and Canyon Village areas. But the park says little impact is expected on visitors enjoying the summer season because most of the work will be during the night. Crews will construct and widen a 2.5-mile stretch of road between Tower Junction and Tower Fall and reconstruct the Canyon Village parking lot. The Tower Road work will result in closures from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. into September.

Drilling Permits

Submitted by ErickPauley on Tue, 06/26/2012 - 10:01

A petroleum industry group is trying to speed along federal drilling permits by paying the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to hire temporary staff and cover overtime expenses to process them. The manager of the BLM's Casper Field Office, Joe Meyer, says applications for drilling permits have more than doubled in the past couple years. He says the Casper BLM office is hiring contract employees through a local temp agency. The Petroleum Association of Wyoming is paying for those workers through the temp agency.
