School Setback Rulemaking - 2018
On December 6, 2017, the League of Oil and Gas Impacted Coloradans (“LOGIC”), submitted a Commission petition to conduct a rulemaking to require new oil and gas wells and production facilities be sited no closer than 1,000 feet from the perimeter of a school or child care center property line, as opposed to a building as currently required. LOGIC renewed its petition for rulemaking on July 16, 2018. At the Commission’s July 30, 2018 hearing, it considered LOGIC’s petition and directed Commission staff to proceed with a rulemaking on the issue of school setbacks.
