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!

What’s the threat?

SM Energy (formerly 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 each well pad is fully approved, the total project will 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
