Can balance be achieved?
(Pinedale Roundup)  2008-06-19  Balance. It's a word being used to describe the energy development in the Pinedale Anticline. ... more>
Accountability needed before more drilling
(Pinedale Roundup)  2008-05-29  We all have a place we can call home. For some, home is four walls and a roof. For others, home is more broadly the people and things that make up a community. I'm one of many individuals who consider the open spaces and natural environment of Sublette County to be part of my home. Regardless of how we define a home, they give us a place to be at ease, to share laughter and sorrows, to raise our families, to get a dog and cat. We should feel secure and safe in our homes. ... more>

Firms only tell part of environmental story
(Casper Star Tribune)  2008-03-07  Over the past 20 years, corporations have determined it is good for business to claim they are more sensitive to the environment. This is what Shell, Questar, and Ultra Petroleum have been engaged in during recent months in the Wyoming media: full-page ads in local and state newspapers, underwriting of Wyoming Public Radio, and spots on local radio stations around the state, all aimed at touting their efforts to protect the environment on the Pinedale Anticline. Shell even ran full-page ads claiming that all is well in Wyoming in Congressional Quarterly, the venerable journal read by Washington decision makers. ... more>
Are we losing the home place?
(Casper Star Tribune)  2008-02-17  I wanted to be able to get behind the new alternative being proposed for natural gas drilling on the Pinedale Anticline. I have friends who worked hard to try to craft this alternative. They all got together for months and months of meetings. They even tried to think outside the box. I appreciate that. ... more>
Editorial: Direct comment on Sublette plan
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2007-06-13  Given the BLM's track record of maintinag balance in the face of the ongoing gas boom in Sublette County, Upper Green residents must weigh in on the agency's Pinedale Resource Management Plan, a document that provides insufficient protection for the valley's natural values and lifestyles. (150K) ... more>
Any gas development should be slow, steady
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2007-05-30  Freddie Botur: BLM's obligation to balance uses on public lands in the Upper Green has mysteriously disappeared in the rush to extract as much natural gas as quickly and profitably as possible. It's time to slow development before industry overruns Sublette's non-energy values. (100K) ... more>
Don't forget wilderness air, wildlife
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2007-05-23  Alan Galbraith: A retired Forest Service air-quality specialist warns of the threat rampant energy development in the Upper Green poses to migratory wildlife and the air in Wind River Range. (100K) ... more>
BLM has only one chance to get Pinedale plan right
(Casper Star Tribune)  2007-04-22  The public and two agencies charged with protecting the environment have let the BLM know they're unhappy with the rush to develop oil and gas wells in the Pinedale region. It's being done at the expense of our wildlife and natural resources, which is unacceptable to those who value those qualities that make Wyoming unique. BLM needs to listen. Not a single member of the public attending four regional meetings spoke in favor of the agency's preferred management proposal.(20K) ... more>
Pinedale's gas legacy belongs to state BLM
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2007-04-18  Todd Wilkinson: Despite reassurances from the Interior Department that everything is going well in the Upper Green River Valley amid escalating natural gas development, there remain many, many reason why the public should remain skeptical. The fact is things are not OK in the Upper Green, where the BLM is preparing to rubber stamp another 4,000 wells on the Pinedale Anticline at the same time serious concerns have been raised about the health of pronghorn, mule deer, sage grouse and air quality. (90K) ... more>
Have we nuked Pinedale's big game?
(Pinedale Roundup)  2007-04-04  Bill Aldredge: None of BLM's Pinedale Anticline alternatives would protect the Mesa's wintering mule deer and pronghorn. "The atom bombs slated for Project Wagon Wheel were never detonated, but I remain stunned at the [oil and gas] impacts we are currently allowing on Mesa wildlife," writes the emeritus professor of wildlife biology. (150K) ... more>

Should hunters be happy with half a herd?
(Pinedale Roundup)  2007-01-18  Rollin Sparrowe: The BLM's "spin doctoring" notwithstanding, recent research regarding affects on wintering mule deer from oil and gas development on the Pinedale Mesa is troubling. There are half the deer using the Mesa than there were five years ago and there is no evidence that they have simply gone elsewhere, as suggested by the BLM. (295K) ... more>
BLM report misleads on development restrictions
(Casper Star Tribune)  2006-12-17  Andy Blair: Federal land managers' new inventory of oil and gas reserves in the West gives the false impression that energy companies' have little access to federal land. The report, called EPCA II, is a whitewash. More than 50,000 new wells are planned on federal land in Wyoming and industry holds a huge backlog of approved drill permits. (16K) ... more>
Air quality problems threaten our clear skies
(Casper Star Tribune)  2006-12-11  Bruce Pendery: A perfect storm has descended on Wyoming’s Upper Green River Valley due to the rampant oil and gas development in the area being approved by the BLM. This perfect storm is destroying the valley’s world-class air quality. ... more>
Conserve our open spaces
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-11-23  Bernard Holz: Development pressure on open space is eating up wildlife habitat an unprecedented pace in Sublette County. The Upper Green's migratory big game could be at risk unless we protect some of their winter and transisional ranges. The Green River Valley Land Trust is working on easement projects that will help secure a safe haven for pronghorn and mule deer, writes Holz, Wyoming Game and Fish Department's regional supervisor.(256K) ... more>
Pollution robs wild of an intrinsic value
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2006-10-11  David Anderson: Some precious things don't show up on the bottom line, values such as clean air and unencumbered visats. Energy development is eroding these things that make Wyoming a wonderful place to live and work. (100K) ... more>
BLM's unfulfilled commitments and the PAWG
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-09-21  Bob Barrett, a former member of the Pinedale Anticline Working Group, was hardly surprised by recent news of an internal BLM memo admitting a litany of unmet obligations to monitor and mitigate environmental damaged caused by energy development. BLM's failure to support adaptive management is just one of many broken promises. (200K)  ... more>
BLM must show it will honor commitments in Wyoming
(Casper Star Tribune)  2006-09-14  By its own admission, the Bureau of Land Management hasn't done the job it promised to do in western Wyoming. For the past six years, the agency has failed to live up to the public's trust that it would monitor and limit harm to wildlife and air quality from natural gas drilling. It doesn't matter whether the agency was overworked, understaffed, or responding to the demands of the Bush administration to let drilling be approved at a faster rate. What is most important now is for the BLM to release a public plan showing precisely how it will fulfill its obligations in the future. (20K)  ... more>
BLM lets down its Wyoming guard
(Casper Star Tribune)  2006-09-10  Denver Post: As natural gas drilling rigs sprouted on the tumbling prairie near Pinedale, Wyo., officials at the local office of the Bureau of Land Management were in an anything-goes state of mind. Though the agency had promised to do so, the BLM neglected to track air pollution and the levels of lake acidification in nearby wilderness areas. This was revealed in an agency memo that recently was leaked to the public. According to the memo, the BLM also failed to monitor and limit harm to wildlife in a swath of southwestern Wyoming known for its rugged beauty and once-pristine airshed. In fact, there was often  ... more>
Upper Green losing its appeal for sportsmen
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-08-10  Disturbed Buckeye: An Ohio angler wonders whether it will be worth visiting Pinedale after the oil and gas industry has its way in the Upper Green. (80K) ... more>
Ten reasons to drill

Protecting our clear skies and clean air one step at a time
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-07-27  Bruce Pendery: When the brown haze settles over the Upper Green River Valley, it appears Wyoming is forfeiting its air quality. But it doesn't have to be this way. (248K) ... more>
Insist on best technology
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-06-08  Linda Baker: We can do more than cross our fingers and hop the skies clear in in 10 to 15 years. I applaud industry's effort to curb air pollution in the Upper Green, but considering plans to drill more than 3,000 new gas wells, it's little better than a Band-Aid on a slashed artery. (95K) ... more>
Working Group doesn't work
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-05-04  Op-ed from five PAWG members: The Pinedale Working Group appointed by the Secretary of the Interior is dead. Again. The BLM has shown little commitment to the concept of "cooperative conservation" that is supposed to guide the advisory mission of the group as it explores ways to mitigate environmental impacts of energy development on the Pinedale Anticline. The agency rarely adopts the panel's recommendations, does not adequately fund monitoring and most recently failed to renew members' terms before their expiration. (69K) ... more>
Value of clear skies and clean air? Priceless
(Casper Star Tribune)  2006-04-25  Mark Preiss: Conservationists' Jonah appeal is intended to ensure Upper Green energy development unfolds responsibly without sacrificing our great air quality (15K) ... more>
A local decision for the Mesa deer?
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-03-02  Bob Barrett: The Sublette Deer Herd is a world-class wildlife resource, but can our mule deer co-exist with lucrative energy production or does industry just win out while wildlife loses? We'll soon discover whether Interior Secretary Gale Norton was sincere when she said such an issue needs to be decided at the local level. (88K) ... more>
The BLM needs to rethink how it looks at wildlife biology
(Pinedale Roundup)  2006-03-02  BLM's Pinedale Field Office just lost one of its three wildlife biologists, Steve Belinda, who resigned because he felt that wildlife was being overlooked in the effort to speed up gas development. The agency BLM could defend its wildlife protocols if it had numbers showing that it was working to protect wildlife, but the numbes show just the opposite. (48K) ... more>
Biologist tells truth about BLM priorities
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2006-03-01  After two years of raising concerns about the impact of the gas drilling frenzy in the Upper Green on wildlife, biologist quit the BLM in protest over the agency's skewed priorities and zeal to move energy. (100K) ... more>
We don't have to sacrifice air quality
(Casper Star Tribune)  2005-12-31  Jana Milford: The air quality in the Upper Green River Valley used to be as good as it gets, as clean as anywhere in the lower 48 states and some of the cleanest in the world. Crystal clear blue skies and awe-inspiring views have long attracted visitors. All that is changing because of oil and gas development in southwest Wyoming. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Wyoming can contribute to the country’s energy supplies and protect its precious air resources, if federal and state agencies take needed, common-sense steps to protect the health of the states’ natural areas and local communities.  ... more>
Coming to the table
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-12-22  Mark Preiss: Talking. Listening. These tools are vital to finding common ground between varied interests and they are tools that we in the conservation movement rely on heavily in our work. However, good intentions and well-meant conversations don't always translate into needed on-the-ground action.(63K) ... more>
Taking Charge of Our Future
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-12-22  Rollin Sparrowe: It is time for those who care about this Upper Green River country and its way of life to take charge of our own interes in its future. The issues are clear -- keeping air and water quality, sustaining wildlife, keeping the traditions of hunting and fishing, and holding on to the way we live our lives on ranchs and towns in this wonderful place (85K) ... more>
Is Game & Fish opposition meaningless now?
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-11-24  Roughneck editorial: BLM seems to have taken wildlife-decision making authority from Wyoming Game and Fish after approving Questar's request for additional drilling and completions this winter on the Mesa. The decision was made with no public comment and over the objection of state wildlife officials. (38K) ... more>
Where the deer and antelope played
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-11-24  Letter to the Editor: The decline in our deer population, the increase in crime, lack of affordable housing, loss of our small town values, degradation of our clean air are all reason we should be concerned about the rollback of environmental protections occuring in Sublette County gas fields. (54K) ... more>
Necessary protections
(Casper Star Tribune)  2005-11-18  Editorial: There may be places and circumstances in which it's appropriate to ease winter drilling restrictions, but lifting them across the board for federal lands is a poor solution to a much bigger problem. America's hunger for energy is a long-term problem that won't be solved by quick fixes that scuttle sensible environmental protections. (19K) ... more>
Demand control over your land
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-11-17  Roundup editorial: Recent decisions to expand winter drilling shows the BLM does not care what local people have to say about how public land is managed in Sublette County. (63K( ... more>
Sold to the highest bidder
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-11-17  Val Jones: Shell's winter drilling plan on the Mesa is more like an ultimatum or blackmail than an honest proposal to do the right thing. The company will only drill in an ecologically sound manner if they are allowed unimpeded access to crucial witner wildlife range. Isn't the BLM required to protect lands and resources that belong to all of us? The agency's behavior at a recent scoping meeting suggests it has abandoned this mission. (60K) ... more>
No Home on the Range?
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-10-27  Meredith Taylor: Where is the balance if industry operators' ultimate goal is thousands or tens of thousands of natural gas wells on the Pinedale Mesa? ... more>
Perspectives on missing Mesa deer
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-10-20  Bob McCarty weighs in on an ongoing study that has documented a 46 percent decline in mule deer numbers on the Pinedale Anticline since 2002. While BLM locks out the public from the Mesa's winter range to enforce seasonal drilling closures that supposedly aren't working, energy industry enjoys more on more winter access into crucial big game habitat. "My personal interpreation of this study is that deer really don't like human activty on their winter range." (103K) ... more>
BLM must press for oil, gas changes
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2005-10-19  Jackson Hole residents and visitors can expect their environment to change if the BLM gives free reign to oil and gas developers in the Upper Green River Valley and surrounding public land. (64K) ... more>

Plan rips holes in a wildlife safety net
(Casper Star Tribune)  2005-10-02  Linda Baker: Anyone who seeks removal of seasonal drilling stipulations has not only lost touch with what is important to the people of the state, but must not care much about wildlife. A Congressional proposal to bury this key wildlife-protection measure is what happens when decisions about energy development are made in places already deprived of wildlife. (19K) ... more>
Bearing an unfair share
(Casper Star Tribune)  2005-09-25  Editorial: Wyoming's political leaders should set aside some of the millions flowing into state coffers from energy development to help communities cope with the boom's sudden socio-economic impacts. (19K) ... more>
Hold Pinedale's air to a higher standard
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-09-22  Editorial: Local sentiment on the growing haze over Sublette County has reached a tipping point. In terms of air quality there are few places like this. We could dump tons of pollution into the air and not come near a Clean Air Act violation. But people here will notice the difference. (44K)  ... more>
Inertia, Baby
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-09-15  Judi Adler: "A kid from Daniel born in 2010 may grow up to think that a murky sky is the norm and viewing the mountains in all their glory is a rare occurence. Don't kid yourself and say it can't happen. It is already happening and the prognosis for the future is bleak. (64K) ... more>
Mixed messages
(Casper Star Tribune)  2005-09-05  Perry Walker: The BLM is the single most fundamental obstacle to combining profitable natural gas recovery with affordable environmental protections, according to this opinion piece by a member of the advisory board called PAWG. The agency's Pinedale Field Office thwarts meaningful citizen participations and discourages industry from persuing innovative ideas for lessening its impacts. (20K) ... more>
Stop the Destruction
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-09-01  Paul Hagenstein: There has not been one clear day this summer. The Upper Green's uncontrolled energy "boom" is having an impact to my home, my neighbors and my community. With the push for year-round drilling, many of these conditions will increase. (68K) ... more>
Pinedale's mule deer herd at risk
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-08-18  Bob Barrett: If you like the quality of deer hunting here in Sublette County, enjoy it while you can because there are ominous signs that it probably won't last. The Mesa, one of two crucial winter range strongholds, has been approved for 700 producing gas wells and 400 miles of roads. The results of an ongoing study of this development's impact on deer spell trouble. The wintering population has declined 46 percent in the 5 years since drilling began. (91K) ... more>
Don't leave air quality to the courts
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-08-11  With the release of the Supplemental Air Quality Analysis for the Jonah Infill, it appears that there could be air quality impacts to the Bridger Wilderness. If monitors proved those emission levels are present, then all development not just the Jonah could fall under strict air quality restrictions. (53K) ... more>
The Ugly Side of Jonah
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-08-04  Sublette Examiner editorial: A Pinedale newspaper documented an array of environmental abuses on the Jonah gas field in July, reporting on drilling fluids contaminating unlined pits, illegal dumping, poisoned livestock and downed fences around the pits.  ... more>

Air Quality is Everyone's Concern
(Pinedale Roundup)  2005-04-28  Molly Absolon: The rapid energy development in the Upper Green has resulted in industrial emissions far in excess of what anyone predicted. It's time for the industry causing this air pollution and the responsible agencies to finance and set up a system for measuring the declines in our air quality. (93KB) ... more>
Drilling rush overwhelms some towns
(Jackson Hole News & Guide)  2005-04-27  Wyoming's gas boom has rained riches on state coffers, while leaving municipal government's such as Pinedale's holding huge financial burdens, according to outgoing town administrator Ward Wise.
