A court action by private parties in Wyoming to require the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and the Wyoming Board of Control to regulate the water produced by coal-bed methane extraction in the Power River Basin was dismissed in 2008 with the court apparently holding that while the court had the power to address the constitutional issues involved the matter was a matter of general public interest which properly ought to be addressed by the legislature. Problems cited seem to have included both wells going dry and local flooding.

  • A court action by private parties in Wyoming to require the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and the Wyoming Board of Control to regulate the water produced by coal-bed methane extraction in the Power River Basin was dismissed in 2008 with the court apparently holding that while the court had the power to address the constitutional issues involved the matter was a matter of general public interest which properly ought to be addressed by the legislature. Problems cited seem to have included both wells going dry and local flooding. Using a well to extract coal bed methane (CBM) has been ruled a beneficial use in Wyoming and requires issuance of a well permit. Such wells are administered on the basis of prior appropriation.
