Public Hearing on State Sunlight/Long Well pad
Why You Should Care & Why You MUST Show Up
The Sunlight-Long mega well pad isn’t just another oil & gas project — it’s a dangerous industrial site proposed right next to our homes, schools, and water supply.
Uniqueness of the Location = Maximum Risk
- 32 wells placed on one 35+ acre pad (roughly the size of a shopping mall). Industrial drilling, on a scale rarely seen in Colorado, is proposed just over a half a mile from the closest homes.
- Over 10,000 households within a 2-mile radius, including an estimated 7,800 children and 4,000 seniors.
- Just 1 mile from two elementary schools and less than 2 miles from a middle school and high school.
- Aurora Reservoir, our city’s primary drinking water source, is just 0.6 miles from the proposed Sunlight-Long mega well pad. Sunlight-Long drilling is not only proposed next to, but also below, this vital Aurora water supply. One accident or leak, and we could be living through our own Erin Brockovich disaster. Do we really want to gamble with the water our children drink every single day?
