The proposed crude oil pipeline would have included a 49½-mile gathering line and a 98½-mile main line, BLM said. It would have followed routes crossing federal lands, the Navajo Nation, state of New Mexico lands, and fee lands from Lybrook, NM, to a proposed rail terminal near Thoreau, NM, BLM said.
