Glenwood Springs, Colorado — July
23, 2008 — The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission honored five natural gas companies working in Garfield
County earlier this month.
The COGCC, which regulates the state’s oil
and gas industry, gave Williams Production RMT, EnCana Oil and Gas
(USA), Laramie II, Noble Energy and PetroHunter Energy Corp. the
Community Relations Award for the companies’ efforts with the
Community Counts program.
Community Counts works to reduce industry impacts
to local communities and to provide better communications regarding
issues of noise, traffic, dust, odors and speeding, according to
the COGCC. They do that by installing signs at several Garfield County
locations, telling residents to call them about any problems. All
of them work hard to properly send the complaint to the appropriate
company, according to the COGCC.
The Community Counts program has received phone
reports of traffic problems and diesel spills on the roads, complaints
that have been “remedied within hours,” a statement prepared
by the COGCC said. |
