CCLC’s Partners, Safe and Healthy Colorado (SHCO) and Save the Aurora Reservoir (STAR) have worked relentlessly for years to prevent development of the the Sunlight – Long Aurora Reservoir fracking project east of Denver. The final decision of the Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) is upon us. Please act now, and no later than November 19th.

Facts about the dangerous Sunlight-Long Fracking Mega Pad:

  • 32 fracking wells on a 35-acre site, making it one of the largest fracking well pads in Colorado.
  • 3,000 ft to the nearest homes — a distance that, as new Colorado-based research shows, increases the risk of childhood cancer.
  • 3,300 ft from the Aurora Reservoir — less than the 1 mile setback we fought to get written into the revised and updated County regulations.
  • 17,000 vehicle trips producing high emissions on a service road located 500 ft from the reservoir and less than 2,500 ft from homes before production even begins.

The State of Colorado has not yet approved this mega pad, and our voices can still make a difference.

o   Suggested Call Script:

“Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [City/Zip]. I’m calling to express concern about the proposed Sunlight-Long fracking pad near the Aurora Reservoir. This fracking pad threatens public health, air quality, and our limited water supply.

Over 10,000 families will be at risk if this pad goes through. We need our elected officials to stand with our community and urge the ECMC to stop or relocate this fracking pad in line with Colorado’s SB-181, which prioritizes public health and safety.”
