  • IN SID E a Means to Responsible Oil And
    ¤ SPRING 2004 37Years of Conservation Action R E P O R T A Means to Responsible Oil and Gas Development That Respects Our Natural and Cultural Heritage By Bruce Pendery ronghorn graze among sagebrush scoured free of snow by the wind. In the background, the Popen plains stretch unbroken for miles. But underneath the placid herd, natural gas is flowing to a well six miles away. This is “doing it right.” “Doing it right” is an approach often mentioned when WOC seeks ways to keep the explosive oil and natural gas development rush sweeping across Wyoming from ruining the state’s rural communi- ties and the natural environment. The question is: what is “doing it right”? On the one hand, “doing it right” is like “multi- ple use”— a philosophical approach for how to treat the land and the people using it. But there are a number of specifics that give “doing it right” sub- stance. These specifics transform philosophy into a framework for responsible development on both public lands and private lands with underlying federally-owned oil and gas deposits (so-called “split estates”). According to the Northern Plains Resource Council, which popularized the phrase, there are at least six elements to “doing it right” in coalbed methane country, such as the Powder River Basin: • effective monitoring of development and enforce- ment of existing laws; • provision for surface-owner consent and surface- use agreements on split estate lands; • the use of best-available technologies to ensure aquifer recharge along with clustered develop- ment to reduce the area impacted; • the collection of thorough information on fish and wildlife resources followed by phased development to diffuse impacts; • meaningful public involvement in the decision- making process; and • complete reclamation of disturbed areas accompa- nied by bonding sufficient to ensure that taxpayers are not saddled with reclamation costs.
