From coal mines to landfills, we understand the state and federal permitting process and know who to
talk to so that the permit application does not get sidetracked. We understand the air quality issues
that drive much of development in Wyoming, and we have experience with the Industrial Siting Process.
Our lawyers work effectively with the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) and the
Environmental Quality Council (EQC).
The agency appeal process can be frustrating and unpredictable at times. The Boards charged with regulation
of Wyoming's natural resources often consist of appointees who lack legal training, who often decide matters
vital to your property, business or the State's environment. Despite these difficulties, it is vital that
you exhaust your administrative remedies before beginning the appeal process. Davis & Cannon, LLP's
lawyers are experienced in this process and can navigate you through the procedures to defend your legal
rights.
Davis & Cannon, LLP has a rich history of extensive water law practice, helping ranchers and irrigation
districts to establish and defend their water rights over the past four decades. We routinely handle
issues such as abandonment, change in points of diversion, change of use, and issues of beneficial use
before the Board of Control. In addition, our lawyers represent municipalities in complex water trade
deals, as well as represent various parties in litigation over water rights and related civil actions
such as trespass and nuisance related to those water rights.
From our firm's strong roots representing land owners, when the Wyoming Coalbed Methane Gas (CBM) boom
began in the early 1990s, Davis & Cannon, LLP's attorneys continued to work for ranchers and other
landowners on CBM matters. We have negotiated surface use agreements with favorable terms for landowners,
and we have extensively represented ranchers to help solve the issues of CBM water disposal onto their
lands. Our lawyers appear frequently to fight for rancher rights before the Wyoming Environmental
Quality Council, and in Wyoming's state and federal courts.

Familiarity with a spectrum of natural resources matters makes Davis & Cannon, LLP well suited to address
alternative energy resources and emerging issues of importance in Wyoming. Our dealings with mineral
exploration, development, and leasing have exposed us to related projects, such as coal gasification
and coal liquefaction, which we watch with great interest. Wind generated power is growing in Wyoming,
and several of our attorneys have negotiated leases for wind farms and advised on the development of
wind energy projects. Looking forward, we anticipate great national interest in the implementation
of Wyoming's carbon sequestration law and the issues that may arise from carbon storage in Wyoming.
As these technologies and ideas evolve, Davis & Cannon, LLP's attorneys will maintain our
client-centered approach to managing legal problems associated with these developments.
