Our Coalition, Citizen Groups, consisting of LOGIC, Sierra Club, Earthworks and the Larimer Alliance for Health, Safety & the Environment will be represented by Mike Freeman, EarthJustice attorney. Mr Freeman will be presenting to the COGCC on the 500-series of Mission Change O&G Rulemaking at 9:05 a.m. Monday, Aug. 31. We believe he will have some impacted citizens present, as well.
The rewriting of 500-series as mandated by the law SB-18a contains important issues such as:
- who has legal "standing" to participate at COGCC, the definition of "affected person" that can apply to participate
- variances that Operators can request from COGCC director (as currently written in draft),
- Notice (public and private notice, such as what is posted at COGCC website and who is noticed for new, expanding Oil & Gas facilities.), and
- "responsible party" -- for leaks, spills, etc.
These are crucial issues for the public to be informed of pending Oil & Gas Facility lease requests, applications, to hold industry accountable, and to have equal footing with industry and local governments at the COGCC.
