This report highlights the activities of the seven task forces created by the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming to study the interstate effects of the Fort Union coal formation which underlies parts of each of these states. Topics studied included air quality, water quality, water allocation, plant siting, energy development, reclamation, taxation, and social and economic impact. The task forces examined methods to assist member states in problem solving as well as acquainting the members with the energy development positions and accompanying laws and regulations of their sister states. Brief summaries outlining the research performed for each task, as well as a list of the members in each group, are presented.
