Don't let water get away

Sunday, March 4, 2007 1:58 AM MST

Editor:

The only way it would make sense for the Wyoming Pipeline Authority to "develop a network of pipelines to carry coal-bed methane water away from the Powder River Basin and discharge it into the North Platte or Big Horn rivers" would be if there was sheer lunacy among the board members and absolute complacency among the citizens of Wyoming!

Come on, people, wake up! This would be a major step in the development of a total infrastructure that would send (and CBM companies would profit handsomely by doing so) this water to any major urban area -- Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc. -- who are currently recycling sewage water to meet the needs of their own populations and limited resources.

Furthermore, the Big Horn River is among the top-rated, blue-ribbon trout streams in the entire world. Untreated, coal-bed methane water has the potential to destroy any and all aquatic life. Do Don Likwartz and the Wyoming Oil and Gas Commission really believe that sportsmen who come from all over the world to fish the Big Horn River will not object? And another question: Why would the citizens of Wyoming let their own life-source be piped out from under them?

The solution is simple: coal-bed methane developers can utilize the available technologies to treat the toxic, highly salt-laden water and re-inject this excess water as close to its original source as possible. Their main reluctance to do so is that it will cut into their profits. I implore you and your state leaders to stand up and resist this outrageous plan.
