The leaders of a northern Colorado county took steps this week to stop the permitting of oil and gas and land use applications until the middle of April while revised regulations are handled.
Larimer County Commissioners halted the “1041” land use applications until April 15. All three are Democrats and voted 3-0 in support of the temporary moratoriums.
The Fort Collins Coloradan reported the county has worked for months on its rules for oil and gas permitting after the Democrat-controlled Colorado legislature gave more control to municipal and county governments over their future development in the 2019 session.
