350CO is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to work locally towards building a global grassroots movement to solve the climate crisis. We have over 20,000 members statewide, including hundreds in Adams county, working to address the root causes of the climate crisis and to promote equitable and lasting solutions.
With regards to the proposed oil and gas amendments, we urge Adams County Commissioners to go farther to support public health, safety and the environment as mandated under SB 181. This is especially important in Adams County where oil and gas activity significantly impacts communities beyond drilling. The cumulative impacts of Suncor oil refinery, Cherokee plant and all the other oil and gas drilling including the controversial Ivey site need to be taken into consideration before approving permits. Hard setbacks and reverse setbacks of 2,500 ft, with no variances, is also of the upmost importance in protecting health and safety. Kate Christensen, 350 Colorado
