This is a cut and paste from the (NRDC) National Resources Defense Council's website:

The Bush administration is poised to approve a plan for 60 newgas wells -- and a maze of roads and pipelines -- in thespectacular White River wilderness in northeastern Utah.We need your immediate online action to block this attack. Thedeadline to register your opposition to this destructiveproposal is Monday! Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction and tell theBureau of Land Management to study the full potential impacts onthe White River wilderness and adjacent wildlands beforeconsidering this reckless scheme.The towering sandstone cliffs and deep canyons of the WhiteRiver region -- part of our Redrock Wilderness BioGem -- are arefuge for deer, elk, antelope, waterfowl and golden eagles.According to the BLM, "The spectacular scenery of the WhiteRiver provides a dramatic backdrop for the hiker, rafter,canoeist, for fishing enthusiasts who visit this unique area."Over the past few years, the BLM has approved the constructionof roads, pipelines and compressor stations to the north, eastand west of the White River wilderness. But it has neverexamined the cumulative impacts of this development on theregion's natural values.Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeactionand urge the BLM not to rush headlong into approving thisdestructive drilling plan.
