| Groundwater Monitoring Around Energy Development |
|
To address requests from citizens concerned with increased development and new development
practices, the MBMG collaborated with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and
Conservation (DNRC) and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to characterize
groundwater quality near current oil and gas development. Analyses included a wide range
of organic constituents, isotopes of carbon and hydrogen of methane, and the standard
inorganic analysis. GWIC also houses the results of sampling by the Montana Salinity Control
Association (MSCA), who worked with the DNRC to collect domestic-well samples from concerned
landowners.

| Coalbed Methane GW Monitoring Network |
|
MBMG operates the Montana Powder River Regional Coalbed
methane ground-water monitoring network of springs and
wells. Data for this program plus site specific research
such as coalbed methane infiltration pond studies can
be viewed online, or downloaded from GWIC. Click on the

| A little about us |
The Ground Water Information Center (GWIC) at the Montana Bureau of Mines and
Geology (MBMG) is the central repository for information on the ground-water
resources of Montana. The data include well-completion reports from drillers,
measurements of well performance and water quality based on site visits,
water-level measurements at various wells for periods of up to 60 years,
and water-quality reports for thousands of samples. The databases at GWIC
are continually updated with new data from driller's logs, MBMG research
projects, and research projects from other agencies.
