NRLC Launches Oil and Gas BMP Database and Website for the Intermountain West

| Posted by Jill Conley on July 8th, 2009 at 11:44 am

The Natural Resources Law Center (NRLC) and partners have developed a comprehensive, free-access, searchable, web-based database of best management practices (BMPs) for the Intermountain West.

The intention of this project of compiling BMPs is to protect all of the surface resources affected by oil and gas development - air and water quality, soils, vegetation, visual aesthetics, tranquility, health and safety, wildlife and other resources.  The database now includes more than 4000 records of BMPs currently in use, required and/or recommended in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
