520 _a"On an average day in Wyoming, energy companies drill nine new wells to pull methane gas out of the state's coal beds. In 1995, the state had 427 coalbed methane wells. Now, the total is more than 21,000, and another 30,000 have been approved, according to Don Likwartz, supervisor of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. The government agencies charged with overseeing this industry are having a hard time keeping up with the rush." (HIGH COUNTRY NEWS) This article addresses the concerns by Wyoming's landowners that "water disposal methods used in coalbed methane drilling" are not being properly regulated by federal and state agencies. Wildlife habitat and ranchland can be destroyed by wastewater spills.
