Description
Seventeen globally imperiled plants found in oil and gas development areas in Colorado are in danger of extinction. Collectively, these species occupy less than 11,000 acres in Colorado. One of the biggest conservation issues for Colorado native plants is the lack of awareness of the existence and status of these rare plant species. Avoiding or minimizing impacts to these species during oil and gas development activities may help to effectively conserve...

This regulatory change would be applied to all new oil and gas development facilities in Colorado, and any operation that used...
