Civitas Resources has been granted exclusive rights to develop hydraulic fracturing wells in a 32,000-acre area east of the Aurora Reservoir known as Lowry Ranch. If approved, the project would result in:

73,000

Tons of air pollutants
including volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

10,000

Households exposed to increased health risks including asthma, heart disease, and childhood cancer

3.9bn

Gallons of contaminated fresh water
in a state with a severe water crisis

State Blanca West – Arapahoe County Accepting Comments Through October 24, 2025

Crestone Peak Resources (dba Civitas) is proposing 18 oil and gas wells within a 16.82-acre pad site on a 21.52-acre agriculture parcel located about a half mile south of East Quincy Avenue and a half mile north of East Reservoir Dam Road. This dangerous site again puts Aurora Reservoir at risk and proposes drilling immediately adjacent to the Lowry Superfund Site.

Additionally, so many sites within close proximity to one another will lead to increased health and environmental cumulative impacts within the area.

Submit your opposition to State Blanca West via this online form through October 24, 2025.
