Because of their proximity to oil and gas operations, residents of Broomfield, Colorado were at risk of exposure to flowback-driven air pollution during shelter-in-place orders, so the city issued an emergency decree for local operations to cease fracking flowback during the pandemic. Extraction Oil filed for a temporary restraining order to block the city's decree. It's the first test of Colorado's 2019 law prioritizing public health and safety over oil and gas production, which allows local governments to set safeguards that are more stringent than state regulations.Climate-COVID-19 policy tracker: https://www.drillednews.com/post/the-climate-covid-19-policy-trackerSupport our work: https://www.drillednews.com/support-us Learn more about your ad choices.
