WildEarth Guardians and Residents Rights Lawsuit
The City and County of Broomfield was notified of a lawsuit filed by WildEarth Guardians, and Residents Rights on October 23, 2018. The City Attorney's Office and City Manager's Office are currently reviewing and analyzing the complaint.
The City spent many months negotiating with Extraction Oil and Gas to include the most protective best management practices in Colorado in the Operator Agreement and implemented those in the Comprehensive Drilling Plan. The best management practices include measures to protect public health, safety and welfare consistent with Broomfield's Charter and well beyond anything provided in State law.
