| The Bureau of Land Management’s 2007 Supplemental Air Quality Analysis to the Draft Supplement to the Montana Statewide Oil and Gas Environmental Impact Statement and Amendment of the Powder River and Billings Resource Management Plans (Supplemental Air Quality Analysis--SAQA) is now available. The document was prepared to assess the level of coal bed natural gas (CBNG) development that would require mitigation to reduce the potential for impacts to air quality. An errata sheet to the SAQA and an updated Air Quality Technical Support Document is also available. Click here to go to the SAQA and related documents .
The SAQA provides additional information and analyses regarding the level of CBNG development that would have the potential to impact air quality within the Powder River and Billings RMP Areas, particularly at Class I areas. It includes an analysis and comparison of the potential for CBNG development to impact air quality under different air quality emission rates under the preferred alternative (alternative H). It also includes a revised air quality screen. The information contained within the SAQA is intended to expand on the air quality information presented in the Draft SEIS.
The public comment period for the SAQA ended March 13, 2008.
