Arapahoe County Commission Oil & Gas Regulations Public Hearing - 5:30 PM

About this event

The Arapahoe County Commissioners will meet for an oil and gas regulations public hearing in-person at 5334 S Prince St in Littleton, in the Administration Building’s East Hearing Room, and online.

Meetings are open to the public. Attend in-person, stream online, and/or dial in by phone to submit a comment.

The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, Save the Aurora Reservoir, and others will testify at the hearing. We also encourage others to testify on their own behalf to support these stronger regulations. Please join us, in person if you can, to make sure these stronger regulations are in force as Arapahoe County considers future well pad applications.

Here's what the Save The Aurora Reservoir, the community group working to protect the health and safety of neighborhood residents and schools near the fracking, says:

"The Arapahoe Board of County Commissioners has invited the public to comment on proposed updates to its oil and gas regulations (known as phase 2b) before voting on whether to approve the amended rules. STAR has been active throughout the development of these amendments, as we continue to advocate for regulations that better protect humans, wildlife, and the environment around the Aurora Reservoir.

While not perfect, the amendments strengthen air quality monitoring requirements and introduce a new County-level inspection program. We believe these measures are a step in the right direction and we need residents to show up in support of these stronger regulations.

Please plan to join in person or via phone, and make a public comment about the importance of these new programs as well as the requirement for electrically powered drilling and production equipment."
