Washington Post: Bush Administration Opposes Montana Pollution Rules; EPA Study Suppressed

The Bush administration Energy Department attacked a Montana plan to control water pollution from gas drilling in Montana and upstream states, according to an April 9 Washington Post story. The story also disclosed that the administration suppressed an EPA draft study that concluded the pollution controls would not cost much. The story resulted from ideas and information developed by the Natural Resources News Service. Montana says it will protect its waters without regard for the objections from Washington.
