OPINION BOULDER COUNTY BUSINESS REPORT WWW.BCBR.COM Longmont, state should compromise on fracking

he city of Longmont has made a bold case for local control Tover some aspects of hydraulic fracturing, known as “fracking.” State officials have countered with a lawsuit, arguing that some of Longmont’s measures overstep what is permitted in terms of local regulations. Longmont recently implemented several measures to control the effects of fracking, whereby treated water is injected into the ground to fracture shale, thereby releasing fossil fuels. The practice is being implemented across the country, with the Niobrara formation in Colorado and Wyoming a hotspot for fracking activity.
