Grant 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 B. Estimated Total Program Funding: $30,000 for the first year, additional funding dependent on Congressional authorizations C. Award Ceiling: $30,000 D. Assistance Instrument: Cooperative Agreement
