SUMMARY:MSI Forest & Fire Learning Series- Moving Forward
DESCRIPTION:MOVING FORWARD \nLearn about the social implications of post-fire landscape recovery and La Plata County’s Community Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) with Dr. Chad Kooistra (Wildfire Management Research Project Lead\, Public Lands Policy Group\, Colorado State University) and Alison Layman (Planner I\, La Plata County). \n  \n\n  \nSince 2017\, the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado have experienced exceptional drought and fire alongside record snowpack and swollen rivers. In response to community concerns regarding these climatic fluctuations across our landscape\, MSI and partners began the Forest & Fire Learning Series in spring of 2018. For the past two years\, this lecture series offered information and resources to how we\, as a community\, can better understand and approach local climatic changes using the best available science and landscape expertise to promote both ecological and community resilience. \nWhile 2020 may provide adequate snowpack and spring runoff\, there are many increasingly relevant conversations to address. One of these is the context of historical fire regimes – though 2020 may not prove to be an intense fire year\, impacts from climate change suggest that fire events with increased frequency will occur. As our community continues to experience the fluctuations in climatic extremes alongside the consequences of more than a century of wildfire suppression throughout the West\, we must discuss what it means to cultivate community resilience within the context of the forest ecology of the San Juan Mountains\, historical fire regimes\, and societal relationships to wildfire. Indeed\, the relationships and responses people have to wildfire can be complex and multi-faceted\, which is why MSI aims to include what varying areas of science\, such as ecology\, tourism\, and sociology\, have to say about fire\, forests\, communities\, and resilience. \nTo continue exploring these ideas\, MSI is preparing for its 3rd annual Forest & Fire Learning Series on it’s Facebook page with the intent to educate and engage our community in this time of social and physical distancing. The overarching theme of this series will be resilience: historical resilience to wildfire in our forests\, management techniques used to improve ecosystem and community resilience\, resilience and tourism\, and the importance of building a culture that accepts living with wildfire. Each evening will offer two livestream presentations followed by Q&A from viewers in Facebook.

SUMMARY:Durango Oil and Gas Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Stand up for New Oil and Gas Protections\nAfter nearly a decade in the making\, Colorado passed major oil and gas reforms in 2019 affirming that its agency\, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC)\, will place health\, safety\, and the environment before industry profits. \nNow\, the COGCC is holding a series of upcoming rulemakings required by these legislative reforms. These rulemakings will create new policies surrounding the COGCC’s new mission\, alternative location analysis\, and cumulative impacts analysis. \nThe COGCC is hosting a stakeholder outreach meeting in Durango on Friday February 21st to provide an overview of these rulemakings and take public comment. Your voice is critical to the outcome of these new rules- come tell the COGCC that Coloradans want new oil and gas policies that prioritize health\, safety\, and the environment! \nBackground Information\nTo fulfill their new mission\, the COGCC is updating the rules and regulations governing the oil and gas industry. The COGCC was also directed to create and implement two new forms of analysis that will ensure their permitting decisions fully account for the protection of our health and safety\, the environment\, and wildlife. \nThese analyses are known as Alternative Location Analysis\, which requires operators to propose alternative locations for development that will minimize impacts to health\, safety\, and the environment\, and Cumulative Impacts\, which requires the COGCC to take a holistic view of the impacts of drilling in the immediate\, short\, and long term to a wide range of topics related to health\, safety\, the environment\, and wildlife. \nTips For Public Comment\nTell the COGCC who you are and where you live\, and be sure to personalize your comments! You are an expert on your own story- talk about why you care about this issue and how you are personally impacted. \nTalking Points: \n\n\n\nAll rules must be statewide in order to protect all Coloradans. We oppose any basin specific exceptions\, as both urban and residential impacts should be considered. \n\n\nAll rulemakings must prioritize protecting health\, safety\, the environment\, and wildlife over corporate interests\n\n\n\nMission Statement: Key Messages \n\nImpacted people and communities deserve access and adequate notice to be involved and influential in the permitting process.\nEnvironmental resources\, including wildlife and habitat\, such as riparian areas\, and public water supplies and groundwater should be strongly protected.\n\nAlternative Location Analysis: Key message \n\nAlternative Location Analysis should carefully evaluate locations that push development into communities with already high levels of pollution and density of oil and gas development.\n\nCumulative Impact Analysis: Key message \n\nThe Cumulative Impact analysis should include an evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions and effects on climate change from oil and gas development

SUMMARY:PRC Public Input Hearing - SJGS
DESCRIPTION:The NM Public Regulation Commission (PRC) will be holding a public input session in order to give residents of San Juan County an opportunity to share their opinions regarding the abandonment of San Juan Generating Station. PRC Chairperson Theresa Becenti-Aguilar will use the hearing as an opportunity to receive comments from her constituents in the Four Corners. \nMonday\, January 6\, 4-6 pm\nSan Juan College \nHenderson Fine Arts Building\, Room 9008\n4601 College Blvd. Farmington\, NM 87402\n  \nOne of the key issues at play is whether or not the Energy Transition Act (ETA) applies to PNM’s abandonment of SJGS.

SUMMARY:Durango Air Quality Hearing
DESCRIPTION:The Colorado Air Quality Control Commission (AQCC) is holding a Durango hearing on strengthening methane regulations from the oil and gas industry. Strong new rules are vital in order to reduce emissions\, protect our health\, and curb climate impacts. \nFive years ago\, Colorado became the first state to directly regulate methane pollution – an extremely potent greenhouse gas – from the oil and natural gas industry. Since the rules were adopted\, Colorado’s economic growth has exceeded projections\, proving that smart environmental policy can go hand-in-hand with economic prosperity. But the old rules aren’t enough- Colorado needs new protections that reduce emissions to safeguard our health and our environment. \nIt’s time for Colorado to take this crucial leadership to the next step. This summer\, Gov. Polis signed SB 181 into law – officially directing the Air Quality Control Commissions (AQCC) to further minimize pollution from oil & gas facilities. Now\, you only have a limited amount of time to speak up before a new rule is finalized. \nThe proposed new rule is a step up: It’s expected to cut pollution from thousands of low-producing wells statewide\, develop a first-of-its kind standard for cutting pollution in the transmission & storage sector\, and create new methane emission reporting requirements for oil & gas producers. \nThis won’t happen without your support! Come tell the AQCC that Coloradans on the West Slope want strong new rules that prioritize health and environment! \n  \nTalking Points: \nClimate Change\nMethane is a powerful greenhouse gas\, 84 times more powerful than carbon dioxide and responsible for about 25 percent of the climate change we’re already experiencing. \nHere in Southwest Colorado we are especially vulnerable to the devastating impacts of climate change\, from frequent and severe wildfires to decreased snowpack\, earlier spring melting\, and less water during the growing season. The impacts affect all aspects of Colorado’s economy and way of life. \nPublic Health\nHere in the Four Corners we live under a giant methane cloud that compromises our health.  Air pollution from the oil and gas sector is a statewide problem that needs statewide solutions. Oil and gas operations contribute to poor air quality on the West Slope: La Plata County received an “F” from the American Lung Association for ozone pollution. \nCosts\nWhen oil and gas companies waste natural gas by deliberately burning it\, releasing it into the air\, or by not fixing leaky equipment\, Colorado taxpayers lose out on hundreds of millions of dollars in royalty and tax revenue each year.

SUMMARY:Chaco & Carlsbad BLM lease sale protest
DESCRIPTION:Communities living near oil and gas wells already suffer the effects of poor air quality due to venting and flaring of toxic are emissions\, increased rates of cancer and asthma\, and unsafe traveling conditions – now the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is planning to lease even more land for oil & gas development. \n  \nIn the Greater Chaco region\, over 90% of public lands are leased for oil and gas drilling. Development of oil and gas wells in this region will require more water\, release more pollution\, and pose more intensive environmental and health impacts. The BLM foresees thousands of wells being developed in this region that is already besieged by more than 40\,000 oil and gas wells. \nNow\, the BLM is gearing up to lease thousands more acres of public and ancestral tribal lands in New Mexico\, including more than 1\,300 additional acres in Greater Chaco and nearly 14\,000 in Greater Carlsbad at the February 2020 Lease Sale. \n\nWe need you to take action and submit comment to ensure the BLM knows we will stand up for the protection of public and sacred lands! \nClick here – BLM Feb 2020 lease protest form\nHere is a template for the comment form that explains why these lease sales are so damaging to our public lands\, environment\, communities and tribal sacred spaces. Just fill out the “supporting comment” section with your reasons for protesting the lease and supply your address/contact info…then send the form back to us!* \n\n\n*Please add your personalized comments in the designated location on the form and email it to our New Mexico Energy Organizer\, Zach Pavlik\, at zach@sanjuancitizens.org by no later than 12 pm/noon on Tuesday\, December 17th. \n

SUMMARY:Fire & Forests Learning Series Part III: Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Michael Remke \nFire & Forests Learning Series\nPart III: Resilience Post 416 Fire\nNovember 6th\, 6-8 pm\nPowerhouse Science Center\nDurango\, CO\n\n  \nTo close the series\, we will direct the conversation to the lessons learned by our community post-416 Wildfire and how experts and local leaders are addressing these effects in regard to ecological and community resilience.\nPanel\n\n\nKelly Barsanti: Chemical and Environmental Engineering Professor at UC Riverside\n\n\nBrad Piehl: Watershed Planner\, JW Associates Inc. in Breckenridge\, CO\n\n\nBrad Pietruszka: Fuels Manager\, San Juan National Forest\n\n\n\nThe Series\nAs we reflect on the past two years here in the San Juan Mountains\, we see a contrast from extreme drought and fire on our doorstep to record snowpack and swollen rivers. While we see two extremes across the years\, we must ask the question: where do 2018 and 2019 fit within the context of historic fire regimes\, the forest ecology of the San Juan Mountains\, and the lens of climate change? Change is happening to the landscape we call home. How do we\, as a community\, approach those fluctuations using the best available science and knowledge of past change to promote both ecological and community resilience? Mountain Studies Institute (MSI) will be hosting a learning series to engage our community\, in conversation\, about the changing forests in the San Juan Mountains. The overarching theme to this series will be resilience: ecosystem resilience to fire\, the impacts of post-fire conditions on ecosystems and communities\, the use of forest management techniques to advance ecosystem and community resilience\, and the need to build a culture within our communities of learning to understand the importance of and live with fire. This series will occur over three evenings: October 23rd\, October 30th\, and November 6th. The evenings will include short presentations and panel discussions with community participation in the discussion. \nWe invite you to join the conversation and help to inform a community approach to living with fire.
