Western Colorado has one of the biggest methane problems from oil and gas operations. Despite that, new methane pollution reducing rules being considered by the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC), won’t go into effect on the Western Slope for four years.

The AQCC needs to hear from you by February 4, 2025. Tell the Commission that these rules must be set fairly and protect all Coloradans throughout the state. Our friends at Western Colorado Alliance have made it easy for you to submit a comment. Please take a moment to use this action form to submit a comment to the AQCC today!
