What’s at stake:
- The Lowry Ranch comprehensive area plan (CAP) is an approved hydraulic fracturing project with planned well sites north, east, and south of the Aurora Reservoir.
- Any activities on the former Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range pose potential health and safety hazards due to the presence of live munitions.
- The Lowry Landfill is a federally recognized hazardous waste site on the national priorities list, also known as a “Superfund” site. It is considered under long-term remediation by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Several wellpads operating concurrently in close proximity to our homes and schools severely deteriorating our air quality The proposed well pads will be clearly visible from the Aurora Reservoir recreational area and surrounding neighborhoods.
- 39,000 vehicle trips traveling within 500 feet of Aurora Reservoir, at one point, 220 trips/day for 80 days.
- Subsurface drilling may stretch as far west as highway E-470 — encompassing a highly populated residential area that is home to many families and schools. Interactive map >
