On May 7, 2006, Don Youngbauer, Dave Davenport, Clint McRae and Laurie Kelley traveled to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming to tour areas that are affected by Coal Bed Methane. The landowners asked not to be identified. The following pictures were taken during this tour. |
Although there is no CBM development on this landowner's ranch, water produced from development above is allowed to run down ephemeral drainages and into their hay meadows. |
Water backs up due to the sheer volume of it. The trees seem to be damaged as a result. |
The soil is super-saturated with CBM produced water. |
These areas were previously covered with CBM-produced water. |
