Denver Post Supports Smog Reduction Rules

The Denver Post voiced its support for a proposal that would clean Denver's air by reducing smog forming pollution from oil and gas development north of Denver. The Post joins the growing list of local governments, citizens, and organizations voicing support for the State's proposal to require condensate tanks that emit 11 tons/year or more of smog forming pollution to reduce emissions by 95%.

The Post stated, "there's no need for energy production to jeopardize the public health or Colorado's clean skies." How true.

And remember, a hearing is slated for this Friday and Saturday before the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission. The Commission will decide at this hearing whether to adopt smog reductions in Denver. Hopefully the advice of the Post, among others, will be heeded.
