COGCC hearing on 8 North Drilling and Spacing Units
scheduled for July 31, 2018
In-person public comment accepted on July 30 and July 31
Boulder County, Colo. - 8 North LLC filed two applications with the Colorado Oil and
Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) to establish “drilling and spacing units”
(DSU) in the northeastern and southeastern parts of Boulder County. 8 North
informed Boulder County that it intends to place the 32 wells for the northern
unit in Weld County and the 20 wells for the southern unit within the Town of
Erie. Boulder County has protested the 8 North applications. These DSU
applications will be heard by the COGCC on July 31, 2018, as part of the COGCC hearing that will take place July 30 – August 1 in Denver.
If you would like to comment on these applications, COGCC
informed Boulder County of the following:
- There will be a 90 minute public comment period on both July
30 and July 31. COGCC will accept general public comment on any subject on
Monday, July 30 and public comment on the 8 North DSU applications on Tuesday,
July 31. COGCC anticipates public comment will begin each day at 9 a.m.
- Sign-up for public comment will open on Wednesday, July 25
on COGCC’s website and will close on Friday,
July 27 either at noon or when a sign-in sheet is deemed "full." People will be
limited to sign up for public comment on one day.
- If there are people who show up in Denver to speak but did
not sign up online, they can sign up at the hearing. However, depending on the
number of people who sign up, the COGCC Chair may limit comment time to two (2)
minutes each and/or ask remaining people to come back at the end of the
hearing.
- COGCC anticipates a number of people will wish to speak but
will not have an opportunity due to time constraints. Consequently they
encourage citizens to provide written comments. You may email comments
directly to the COGCC Hearings Manager, Julie Prine (email:
julie.prine@state.co.us) to include in the COGCC Commissioners’ portfolio prior
to the hearing.
