From the Missoulian: "Montana's geothermal energy kettle is on the stove, but don't expect any steam whistles soon.
"U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management offices are officially braced for geothermal leasing activity this summer. So is the state Department of Environmental Quality's geothermal energy program."
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) website has information on Geothermal Resources Leasing. This includes draft and final environmental impact statements, a record of decision, GIS data, scoping material, draft maps of areas of geothermal potential, and other documents.
The latest schedules of proposed actions (SOPAs) for the national forests in Montana include information about the Geothermal Leasing Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement EIS.
The Montana Geothermal Website, produced by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has information about geothermal sites in Montana.

Earthquake Swarm in Yellowstone
From the Helena Independent Record: "A swarm of earthquakes that began Saturday continue to rattle Yellowstone National Park.
"Over the past three days, more than 37 temblors have shaken the earth below Yellowstone Lake, causing scientists to speculate on the cause and field questions on whether the quakes were a prelude to an eruption of the park's super volcano."
The situation at Yellowstone is being monitored by the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. The observatory site includes press releases and updates on recent activity.
The University of Utah is a partner of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, and the University website includes data on the earthquake swarm in the form of text summaries of seismograph stations and webicorder (seismogram) displays.
The U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program collects data on earthquakes in the intermountain west region. The program includes information on seismic activity in Montana and Wyoming.
