FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Scott Prestidge [email protected] DENVER – The Colorado Oil & Gas Association (COGA) responds to Adams County Board of Commissioners’ adoption of oil and natural gas regulations: “By approving these new, unreasonable regulations, Adams County commissioners ignored the will of their citizens and the overwhelming number of people who testified today against this unnecessary overreach. More than 5,000 oil and natural gas families live in Adams County. They’re proud to live there and to work in Colorado, providing more than $1.5 billion in economic benefit to their local communities. They deserved better representation from their local government,” said Dan Haley, President and CEO of COGA. “Senate Bill 181, as signed into law by Governor Jared Polis, specifically states that any new regulations at the state or local level must be both necessary and reasonable. The regulations adopted today push beyond this statutory requirement and exceed the county’s authority.” “Adams County voters defeated the Proposition 112 ballot measure by 18 points less than one year ago, which is clear evidence that extreme policies are not supported by the people who live and work within this community.” About COGA Founded in 1984, the Colorado Oil & Gas Association’s (COGA) mission is to promote the beneficial, efficient, responsible and environmentally sound development, production and use of Colorado oil and natural gas. COGA is a nationally recognized trade association that supports the responsible expansion of oil and natural gas markets, supply, and transportation infrastructure through its growing and diverse membership.
