Live Breaking News & Updates on Eric sandra duggan

 
Dear Board of Trustees,
I am writing to express how important it is that the town of Erie take seriously its obligation to protect residents and mitigate the dangers posed by oil and gas development.
In September we moved to Colliers Hill from out-of-state. It was easy to be attracted to this growing community and the signs effectively blasting “come raise a family here” speak to what we are looking for in a new home. As the walls around the Mae-J pad have gone up this excitement for the future has turned into fear. The law in Colorado now requires 2,000 ft. setbacks because of the danger posed to residents and especially children. And yet here is a massive site developing around 500 ft. from brand new homes. The timeline of permitting and development has no attachment to the ever-growing scientific consensus of the risks. There are now homes within shouting distance of a mega-pad (if only the nuisance concerns were so quaint) and it is not safe.
