Update on 11/6 Odor Complaint
On Tuesday, November 6, multiple odor complaints were received, stating that there was a smell of sulfur or rotten eggs. After the odor complaints were received, there was an initial response taken by the North Metro Fire Rescue Department, Broomfield Emergency Management, Broomfield Public Health, Broomfield Public Works, and Extraction Oil and Gas. As a follow up to the initial response, Broomfield staff discussed the issue with Dan Bon with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Since the Colorado Air Monitoring Mobile Lab (CAMML) has been deployed since October 29, 2018, Broomfield staff inquired about hydrogen sulfide (H2S) levels during the time of the complaints. Dr. Bon stated that from 6-10 a.m. on November 6, 2018, there were H2S levels that were slightly above baseline. He went on say that this was considered unremarkable and would not have raised a concern. He only noted it because of the Broomfield inquiry. This level is not a violation of any applicable air standards. As a routine practice, Broomfield will utilize air monitoring partners to provide data associated with odor and air quality complaints.

Statement From Highlands Resource Corporation
The following statement was just issued by Highlands Resource Corporation: After listening to community concerns and considering all of the factors relating to its proposed development of 5,200 acres of leasehold in Jefferson County, Highlands Natural Resources has determined that the best course of action is to withdraw all of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) spacing and permit applications associated with Rocky Flats, Standley Lake and the dog park.
This determination comes after extensive discussions with communities and other stakeholders, including people who live in the project area, mineral owners, county, state and federal representatives, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, COGCC and others.
Highlands appreciates the concerns and debate raised by its Jefferson County development plans and is taking the conscious step back from its development plans to affirm its commitment to being a responsible and transparent operator within the state of Colorado.
