In making his most recent appointees to the state Environmental Quality Council, Gov. Dave Freudenthal said he didn't consider whether some of the new members would face a conflict in participating in water-discharge hearings.
According to federal code of regulations, all three new appointees to the seven-member citizen board must recuse themselves from all cases that involve National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Program permits -- a key element to current oil and gas development in Wyoming, and nearly half of the cases that come before the council.
