Broomfield officials sent a late-day press release Monday stating that after months of review and public comment, officials in the city manager’s office conditionally approved the Comprehensive Drilling Plan (CDP) with Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc.
A copy of the letter approving the CDP with conditions can be found at broomfield.org/oilandgas. This CDP conditionally permits future oil and gas operations on the Livingston, Northwest A & B, United, and Interchange A & B well pads.
“The CDP includes best management practices that exceed State regulatory requirements, including: 1)minimizing the equipment, emissions and truck traffic during production by requiring pipelines for the removal of oil, gas & produced water from the well sites; 2) air, noise and water testing and monitoring; and 3) operator financial assurances,” according to the statement.
The City and County Manager Charles Ozaki conditionally approved Extraction’s CDP for six well sites containing 84 wells that Extraction intends to operate in Broomfield.
Broomfield entered into an operator agreement with Extraction Oct. 24. That operator agreement required Extraction to submit a CDP that was subject to administrative approval by Ozaki.
