RE: Concerns by the Colorado Oil & Gas Association
Dear Ms. Wojtach and Ms. Devore:
We are in receipt of the December 20, 2019 letter from the Colorado Oil & Gas Association (COGA) which
expressed concerns about the rulemaking and requested to move the hearing date for engine controls to
October 2020. The Board of County Commissioners of Weld County agrees with the request to move the
hearing to October 2020.
The Division gave inadequate time to provide feedback. It seems unreasonable to begin the public comment a
few days before Thanksgiving and end it one day after Christmas. During this period, the Air Quality Control
Commission was also engaged in a large rulemaking. Pushing the rulemaking to October 2020 during which
another regional rulemaking is set to occur will allow the oil and gas industry to completely evaluate the
proposal.
This rulemaking may have significant impacts on Weld County, and the Board of County Commissioners of
Weld County respectfully requests the hearing date be moved to October 2020.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMM $SIGNERS OF WELD COUNTY
