	R&S ELECTRIC UTILITY: Powder River Basin Fuel Handling & Safety
		Because the sub-bituminous coal contained in the Powder River Basin (Wyoming, USA) is a low sulfur "compliance" coal, its use by utilities continues to increase.
		Although Powder River Basin (PRB) coal meets USA emission and clean air standards, there are many other considerations.
		PRB coal is friable with low surface moisture, thus it is very dusty and a risk for accidental fire or explosion.

		GILLETTE - A Powder River Basin cattle rancher is challenging the notion that surface owners can be forced, without legal recourse or monetary compensation, to accept coalbed methane water produced from upstream wells.
		Groups such as the Powder River Basin Resource Council warn that if the courts rule that coalbed methane water enjoys the same public easement as "waters of the state," it would give a new and dangerous legal precedent of condemnation to the oil and gas industry.
		At stake is the viability of ranching in the Powder River Basin's semiarid terrain, which has limited capacity for managing coalbed methane water on the surface.

	DOE - Fossil Energy Techline: DOE Study Raises Estimates of Coalbed Methane in Powder River
		The study, Powder River Basin Coalbed Methane Development and Produced Water Management Study, was prepared by Advanced Resources International of Arlington, VA. The Energy Department's Office of Fossil Energy commissioned the study through its National Energy Technology Laboratory to help federal and state agencies plan for future development of this significant natural gas resource.
		The study found that discharging water produced during coalbed methane operations into rivers and streams - a practice currently allowed by state permits since the quality of the water is generally as good as normal drinking water - is the lowest cost option and results in the largest estimates of economically recoverable gas.
		In each of the study's cases, the amount of natural gas potentially producible from Powder River coal seams could be a valuable addition to the nation's energy supplies.

		The area is called the Powder River Basin (PRB), but those same initials could also stand for "power railroading base," where two of America's largest railroads throw their newest and biggest motive power against tough grades with 125-car loaded unit coal trains.
		Though many parts of the PRB are so remote that you can drive two or more hours without finding, food, drink, or fuel for your car, the larger towns offer all basic amenities, including motels belonging to major chains.

	Geology of Powder River Basin
		Sixty million years ago, the Powder River Basin did not exist for the nearest mountains were in Utah.
		Due to the heavy rain and few rivers to carry the water away, the flat basin floor was a series of swamps and lakes for some 25 million years-the coal forming period.
		The last few million years has been a time of erosion of the basin down to where the coal is almost at the surface, perfect for open pit mining.
