Why is the Oil & Gas Regulations task force writing an MOU/zoning regulation to collect water quality baseline data, as if that information did not already exist?
From as recently as May of 2012?
Including data from a well owned by one of the task force members?
See: Baseline Water Quality Review – Elbert County, Colorado
“Generally, groundwater quality in the wells sampled for this study is good. There’s no evidence that water quality has been impacted by activities related to oil and natural gas exploration or production activities.”
