Help protect Aurora from

fracking.

Protect the Aurora Reservoir and its surrounding communities from the current proposal to drill 160+ wells on land shared by the reservoir and the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site.

Learn How You Can Take Action

Affected by active fracking sites within the Lowry Ranch and SE Aurora?

If you’re experiencing disturbances caused by light, noise, odor or traffic as a result of newly active Lowry Ranch industrial fracking sites, please immediately inform Arapahoe County here and the Colorado ECMC here.

Complaint Process at Arapahoe County

Please go to this page and be sure to select “Oil & Gas Complaint/Concern” in the “Department” menu. Please note the oil & gas site name if you know which one it is as well.

Note: While Arapahoe County has recently launched an oil & gas facility inspection program, inspections only occur twice per year. County officials will need to hear about real-time disturbances directly from citizens like you!
