If you go What: Special Broomfield City Council meeting on Comprehensive Drilling Plan with Extraction When: 5 p.m. today, Aug. 14 Where: George Di Ciero City & County Building, 1 Descombes Way More info: broomfield.org

Broomfield residents who wanted a public meeting on the latest revision to Extraction Oil & Gas, Inc.’s drilling plan in that city are getting their wish.

Residents will have a chance to make public comments at a special city council meeting at 5 p.m. today at the George DiCiero City and County Building, 1 Descombes Drive.

Extraction told Broomfield on Aug. 2 that it was pulling the latest draft of the plan — the July 27 version — off the table. That latest version will be the one discussed at Tuesday’s meeting.

Broomfield’s operator agreement with Extraction requires that Extraction submit to Broomfield a Comprehensive Drilling Plan, which contains 23 sections on topics ranging from air quality and noise control to emergency preparedness and risk management.

The document provides specific processes and procedures that regulate control measures for the six proposed well pads and the 84 wells allowed under an operator agreement Broomfield signed with Extraction in October.

Broomfield’s city manager’s office was expected to administratively approve the latest plan Aug. 1, but public outcry halted that action. The plan is subject to approval by the city manager, and not through a public city council vote, as determined in the operator agreement.

Extraction filed the first plan Dec. 17, and has updated that document multiple times after feedback was gathered at Broomfield public meetings.

Citizen comments still can be sent to oilandgas@broomfield.org concerning the plan.

City council is providing an opportunity Tuesday for the public to make comments concerning the changes made in the July 27 draft of the plan. The item is under the manager’s report and not part of council business.

A second council meeting will be held Tuesday after the 5 p.m. meeting is finished.

In that, council members are expected to discuss a number of agenda items, regarding oil and gas, including the first readings of ordinances that would amend the oil and gas regulations to add a hearing process for complaints and increasing setbacks.

They will also discuss a resolution that would direct the city manager to put all new Form 2 and 2A drilling permit applications and spacing applications on council’s agenda for the next business meeting.

At that time council may receive staff and public comment concerning any “potentially significant adverse impacts to public health, safety and welfare,” according to a memo. Council then could direct staff to file a request for a hearing with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

All three items are expected to come back for a council vote on Sept. 11.
