More than 122,500 acres of San Luis Obispo County land could open to oil and gas leasing if the Bureau of Land Management revives a management plan developed during President Donald Trump’s first term. On June 23, the bureau published a notice in the Federal Registrar announcing plans to prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement and a resource management plan that would evaluate the impact of allowing oil and gas leasing on land and mineral estate managed by its Bakersfield Field Office. … In 2019, the bureau published a new supplemental environmental impact statement for the project. The Center for Biological Diversity and Los Padres ForestWatch sued again, arguing that the bureau still failed to address the impact of fracking on air and water quality and the health of nearby communities. The State of California filed a related lawsuit against the plan in 2020. … [T]he bureau is developing a supplemental environmental impact statement to yet again review the impact of expanded oil and gas production.
