Piece Description
It?s estimated that about 3,000 natural gas wells will be drilled in Colorado this year. Since 2000, the number of operating wells in the state has grown by 30 percent, and there are now nearly 30,000 gas wells operating in the state. So who?s making sure that all those wells are being drilled and operated properly, let alone cleaned up after? Not the state, complains a Western Slope citizens group. And a report in today?s Denver post says the number of state gas well inspectors isn?t keeping pace with the increased level of drilling. In Garfield County, the Grand Valley Citizens alliance recently took its concerns about well clean up to the city councils of Rifle and Grand Junction.
