Energy Drilling

By: Garrett

Wednesday a discussion was held for perfecting the requirements for after-drilling cleanup, and the limiting of energy companies access to sensitive wildlife areas in Colorado. The final resolution is to be adopted May 1. House Bill 1298 requires a balance from the oil and gas commision to balance the developement with wildlife conservation, as well as meet with the wildlife commision to minimize the effect developement has on wildlife. The oil and gas commision already has drawn a draft of regulations and the wildlife commision has looked over the draft and tackled the shortcomings. The wildlife commision wants reclamation and restoration of sites that have been damaged by developement.
