(ROD) for the Pinedale Anticline Oil 

and Gas Exploration and Development 

Project on July 27, 2000. The PAWG 

advises the BLM on the development 

and implementation of monitoring plans 

and adaptive management decisions as 

development of the Pinedale Anticline 

Natural Gas Field (PAPA) proceeds for 

the life of the field. 

After the ROD was issued, Interior

activity-specific Task Groups, including 

one for Wildlife. Public participation on 

the Task Groups was solicited through 

the media, letters, and word-of-mouth. 

The agenda for this meeting will 

include information gathering and 

discussion related to developing a 

wildlife monitoring plan to assess the 

impacts of development in the Pinedale 

Anticline gas field, and identifying who 

will do and who will pay for the
