AG​ Bonta submitted comment letters opposing two draft supplemental environmental impact statements (Draft Supplemental EISs) issued by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that insufficiently evaluate the environmental harms of oil and gas development on federal lands across 20 counties in central and coastal California. 

“This is the Trump Administration’s latest attempt in a long-running effort to try and open new parts of California to oil and gas drilling that would benefit the fossil fuel industry and harm California communities that already face some of the worst air quality in the nation. Like in many prior attempts, this Administration is again failing to adequately consider the environmental impacts of drilling,” – AG Bonta
