Montana's efforts are meeting fierce opposition from Wyoming, which lies upstream in the Powder River Basin. The new rules would require the Powder and Tongue rivers, which cross the state line into Montana, to meet tough water-quality standards. Wyoming's congressional delegates have accused Montana of "targeting" their state's thriving coalbed methane industry.
In late 2000, the EPA set out to establish regional guidelines to help states deal with the new industry and enforce the Clean Water Act. It began investigating the econom...

Development has already begun on the Rivers to Ridges Heritage Trail, Project Coordinator Lowell Wilks told Putnam Rotarians Dec. 7. Some 80 miles in length, the trail will extend along the Kanawha River from Nitro to Point Pleasant, following State Route 62.

Across the river is part of the track believed t...
