No. Aside form all the other comments posted who will ultimately be responsible for clean up if there is an incident? what if the company goes out of business to protect its assets? who's going to cap the well? Taxpayers. no.

Fracking is dangerous and bad for the environment. It should outright be banned in the US. I would never vote for a politician who supports it.

As an Aurora resident, I'm especially concerned about these new oil and gas wells. Colorado already has dangerously high levels of ground level ozone per EPA guidelines, and these wells would make that worse.

The health of residents must be the priority of all government agencies. We know that fracking pollutes ground water, the air and results in health problems for the animals and people. Protect residents and end fracking. Until then at least have the decency to warn people who are impacted by these toxic emissions.

Fracking emissions are 7.9% methane making it more damaging to the climate than coal

No more fracking profits at the expense of people's health and the increased risk of climate chaos.

These wells will affect the entire Front Range that is in severe ozone nonattainment.

As a former resident of Aurora with nieces and nephews who still live there, I am deeply concerned about the idea of fracking in the area. Allowing this to proceed will be harmful to their health and is morally wrong for the community.

Allowing this plan to move forward would be a travesty. It is unconscionable to allow oil and gas operations so close to neighborhoods, and would have serious impacts on public health.

This is worrisome, especially to the lives of children in the adjacent neighborhoods.

Isn’t it about time elected officials start caring about the health of those who elected them?!?!
