ACTION ALERT - COMMENT ON OIL & GAS SITE PERMIT RULES CHANGES

Colorado Trout Unlimited is asking all members to comment on the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission’s (COGCC) current draft rule making.  In October 2020 they will amend rules for permitting oil and gas sites in Colorado.  Our voices are needed to ensure that wildlife protections are prioritized in these amendments.  In August CTU sent an Action Alert email asking members to provide comments to the COGCC.  If you have not yet done so, please do so before 5PM on September 18, 2020.

Members can comment in one of two ways:

(1) Find the email you were sent on or about 14 August, click the bottom where it says Take Action!.  A new web page will open with your information and the canned message defining CTU’s position on the existing draft rules and recommendations to improved protections for wildlife and wildlife habitat, including cold-water fisheries, streams and overall riparian zones.  At the bottom of the webpage find and click the button that says Submit Your Comment.

(2) If you do not have an email from CTU, use the link below to CTU’s blog site that will open the comment page.  Once there, your personal information may have been populated by your computer.  If it is blank, please fill out your name, address and email.  The canned CTU message will be in the message section.  Click the Submit Your Comment button on the bottom of the page and you are finished.
