- Benzene Levels Over Health Guidelines Detected during Active Drilling Operations in Broomfield. 2021-11-03 - On October 26th, Broomfield released a Public Notice that included a report about an air quality event that took place on October 6th, during active drilling operations. The Air Quality System detected levels of benzene 13.4x higher than recommended health guidelines. This report shows an estimated one-hour average of benzene during this event was 120.48 ppb. For context, the acute health guidelines used by Broomfield is 9ppb for a 1-hour exposure. This information was released almost three weeks after the incident date and is the largest concentration of benzene recorded by Broomfield’s air monitoring system to date. In addition to...
- Remediation Work on Plugged and Abandoned Davis 43-6 Well to Begin on August 1st, 2020 2020-07-24 - The COGCC completed repair work on plugged and abandoned well, Davis 43-6 to address a sub-surface methane leak. Testing on this well continued after the repair was made to see if the methane in the soil would dissipate naturally, on its own. The COGCC recently determined that there is still methane in the soil approximately 18 ft underground which has not dissipated. The COGCC has said the residual methane is not a public safety issue and is making plans to further remediate this issue. Even so, Broomfield has urged the COGCC to take additional steps to address the methane. In...
- Benzene Spike on March 24th, March 25th Emphasizes Residents’ Concern, Anxiety During Pandemic 2020-04-02 - In a recent post, the City and County of Broomfield reported that there was a “series of anomalous TVOC Indicator activity from 8:40 pm on 3/24 through the morning of 3/25.” This document cited that the event on 3/25 was a “sustained” event that lasted around 1.5 hours. It is uncertain if this activity was from one single event or a series of separate air-quality events. Trigger canisters were activated both at the Livingston 01 site just west of the 18-well Livingston pad and at the Anthem Ranch location, which suggests that this may have been a far-reaching chemical...

- Updated Extraction Timeline Suspends Drilling at Four Sites, Prompting Questions 2020-01-02 - On Monday afternoon, 12/30/2019, the Broomfield City Council received an updated project schedule from Extraction by way of city staff, which was promptly posted online for citizen access. It is assumed the document was provided to city staff directly by Extraction, though it is unclear at this time if it was shared with any additional information. The updated plan finishes drilling at Northwest A pad, which has already been partially drilled, by February. Drilling for Northwest B, United, and Interchange A have all been labeled with the following language: “A notice will be provided for resumption of drilling activities.” This new schedule...
