The Powder River Basin Resource Council has been instrumental in bringing attention to our area, Pavillion, WY, on gas drilling contamination to our land, water, and air. The organizer, Deb Thomas, is extremely knowledgable in all these matters and works incessently on our behalf. She helped us organize Pavillion Area Concerned Citizens, PACC. As a local group, and through Powder River Basin Resource Council,we have been in contact with the Department of Environmental Quality and other state and national organizations. As a landowner with 24 gas wells on our land, we have contaminated water, soil, and air. Powder River Basin Resource Council has helped immensely, working on our problems, calling attention of our plight. We do have the attention of state agencies. Deb Thomas and our local chairman, John Fenton, have been to the state legislature and also to Washington, D.C. to share our experiences and hope for help in solving our problems. They have appeared at the meetings of Wyoming Oil and Gas and offered rule changes to make drilling safer. We don't want to keep the gas company, Encana, from getting the natural gas, but we expect them to use safety measures at all times to ensure our water, soil, and air are not contaminated. We feel the grassroots organization of Powder River Basin Resource Council have helped us immensely in our plight.

The Powder River Basin Resource Council does a huge job with very little money and a very dedicated staff. They work very hard to protect landowners and the environment in Wyoming, and also travel around the US to advise other groups. I admire the board and staff of this nonprofit, and they've made a big difference in Wyoming, and have helped educate me.

The Powder River Basin Resource Council keeps its members informed on important environmental issues facing the state of Wyoming and urges members to respond to these threats by writing letters and editorials, calling officials, and donating money to the cuase. Without their input we would not be able to comment on issues in a timely manner with clarity and expertise. We thank the PRBRC for helping us do our part to keep the state of Wyoming and the west environmentally sound.
