The
Pinedale Anticline Working Group
(PAWG) was authorized and established
with release of the Record of Decision
(ROD) for the Pinedale Anticline Oil
and Gas Exploration and Development
Project on July 27, 2000. The PAWG
advises the BLM on the development
and implementation of monitoring plans
and adaptive management decisions as
development of the Pinedale Anticline
Natural Gas Field (PAPA) proceeds for
the life of the field.
After the ROD was issued, Interior
determined that a Federal Advisory
Committees Act (FACA) charter was
required for this group. The charter was
signed by Secretary of the Interior, Gale
Norton, on August 15, 2002, and
renewed on August 13, 2004. An
announcement of committee initiation
and call for nominations was published
in the Federal Register on February 21,
2003, (68 FR 8522). PAWG members
were appointed by Secretary Norton on
May 4, 2004.
At their second business meeting, the
PAWG established seven resource-or
activity-specific Task Groups, including
one for Reclamation. Public
participation on the Task Groups was
solicited through the media, letters, and
word-of-mouth.
The agenda for this meeting will
include information gathering and
discussion related to developing a
reclamation monitoring plan to assess
the impacts of development in the
Pinedale Anticline gas field, and
identifying who will do and who will
pay for the monitoring. Task Group
recommendations are due to the PAWG
in February, 2005. At a minimum,
public comments will be heard just
prior to adjournment of the meeting.
