Come to Community Meetings to learn about the planned leasing for oil and gas development of 22 parcels/30,000 acres of land surrounding the towns of Paonia, Hotchkiss, and Crawford and the Paonia Reservoir and determine the impact on you.
Local organizations will be hosting three public meetings in Hotchkiss, Crawford and Paonia to answer questions and gather input for the January 9 deadline for public comments. The meetings will include a presentation on BLM's oil and gas leasing process as well as detailed maps and parcel descriptions. Comments will be captured and submitted to the BLM. These leases have the potential to change the North Fork Valley forever. Please come to one of the three meetings and let your voice be heard!
Come and tell us how a nearby parcel to be leased could impact you, your family, your property, your water and your livelihood.
We will have over-sized maps showing exact parcel locations.
Come prepared to share specific concerns about specific parcels.
We will provide suggestions to make your comment letters as effective as possible.
The meetings will be hosted by:
* Citizens for a Healthy Community
* NFRIA-WSERC Conservation Center
* Western Colorado Congress
* High Country Citizens Alliance
* Black Canyon Regional Land Trust
* Western Colorado Food and Agriculture Council
* Slow Food Western Slope
* Valley Organic Growers Association
