="Troubled Promise - Little Oversight - Looming Problems"

[Agust]

Still have a little reading comprehension issue I see. You appear to be confusing the implementation of some regulations in Colorado to protect trout streams, where none existed before, with the loosening of regulations in NY, PA to allow drilling and pipelines. TU (of which I am a life member, so yes even in Colorado, I'm still involved and have been since 1975) does not oppose all drilling, even fracking, but the do and rightly should oppose doing s in inappropriate places and allowing drillers to get away with bad practices and no consequences when they screw up.

P.S. Gotta love when you get an email warning that a thread I'm on gets resurfaced 10 years later. Hope you are well, and fishing in these crazy times.

So it is I who has the reading comprehension problem? YOU say that no regulation existed before... wouldn't you say that the bold type in the quote below belies your contention?

A quote from the TU article:
"To that end, the Commission voted unanimously to adopt revisions to its rules to:

Increase buffers from 300’ avoidance to 500’ protection around important aquatic habitats–––a 980 percent increase around cutthroat and Gold Medal waters.
Create 500-foot No Surface Occupancy buffers for all aquatic High Priority Habitat streams identified by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, including designated cutthroat trout habitat, Gold Medal streams, sportfish-managed waters and native species conservation waters. Nearly all of Colorado’s trout habitat will enjoy this increased protection.
Requires stronger spill prevention measures within 1,000 feet of aquatic High Priority Habitat.
Mandates to bore beneath streams in aquatic High Priority Habitat areas rather than trenching across it, which will help avoid impacts to fish habitat.

AND who ever said ANYTHING about NY LOOSENING their regulations (I can't speak to Pa's situation)
I've said all along that NY had the strictest rules(and I was happy with that.)

What's the title of the TU article?

Responsible oil and gas development can happen

Show me where YOU voiced THAT opinion on this board--- EVER!

You've got good friends

Hope you are well, and fishing in these crazy times.
