The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming is offering a cooperative agreement for amphibian and reptile monitoring in the Powder River Basin. This grant is for the purpose of assessing the impacts of coal bed natural gas (CBNG) development on regional amphibian and reptile populations, particularly concerning hydrological and water quality changes. An Environmental Impact Statement highlighted the susceptibility of these taxa to environmental alterations, especially reproductive success in amphibians. The monitoring program aims to collect crucial data that natural resource managers can utilize to mitigate and oversee potential impacts resulting from CBNG development on aquatic habitats. The project is expected to span five years, with an initial funding of $30,000 for the first year.

| Description: | Project Background Information: The Buffalo Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management prepared an Environmental Impact Statement for coal bed natural gas (CBNG) development in Wyoming and Montana to analyze impacts to resources as a result of oil and gas and CBNG development. The EIS identified potential impacts to amphibians and reptiles due to susceptibility of these taxa to environmental changes. Changes in hydrology and water quality, in particular, could impact amphibian populations by affecting reproductive success. The purpose of the monitoring program is to determine if CBNG development is impacting regional amphibian and reptile populations. Data collected must result in information which natural resource managers can use to mitigate and monitor potential impacts to amphibians and reptiles resulting from changes in aquatic habitat due to CBNG development. Period of Project: 5 years SECTION II. AWARD INFORMATION A. Expected Number of Awards: 1 |
