Lawsuit Challenges Colorado’s Rubber-stamping of Air Pollution Permits for Oil, Fracked Gas Wells
DENVER Conservation groups sued the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division today for issuing an air-pollution permit that will potentially allow thousands of new oil and fracked gas wells throughout the state.
The permit fails to consider whether air pollution from oil and fracked gas wells will create unsafe levels of pollution in the state’s communities, according to the lawsuit.
Those areas include the Metro Denver/North Front Range area, which has violated smog standards for more than 15 years, as well as Rocky Mountain National Park.
Is Colorado Underestimating the Oil and Gas Industry’s Impact on Climate Change?
State officials, researchers, and advocacy groups disagree about the way methane should be measured as Colorado plans to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Angela Ufheil •

Colorado has big goals for combatting climate change. By 2050, greenhouse gas emissions must be down 90 percent from 2005 levels, according to House Bill 19-1261, also known as the Climate Action Plan to Reduce Pollution, which Governor Jared Polis signed into law in 2019.
Achieving such a steep decline will require extensive planning, and on January 14, an important part of the state’s blueprint arrived: the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap. Compiled by state agencies, climate scientists, and energy consulting firm Environment & Energy Economics (E3), the 162-page document lays out the state’s biggest sources of greenhouse gases and details strategies for reducing those emissions.
State regulators are asking for â and getting â comments from employers as they consider requiring larger companies and other organizations to develop plans for reducing the commuting mileage of their workers as a means of helping curtail greenhouse gas emissions.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environmentâs Air Pollution Control Division is developing a proposal for an Employee Traffic Reduction Program rule for consideration by the state Air Quality Control Commission. The commission in May is expected to consider setting an August hearing on the rule.
Under the proposal, entities employing a yet-undetermined number of people would have to develop a plan to reduce the commuter miles of their workers through telecommuting, public transit, ride-sharing, bicycling and other means. Currently regulators are exploring a statewide requirement that would apply wherever at least 100 people work at a single location.
