Rumors of well-logging accidents and contaminated drinking water supplies appear substantiable (OCD).
Data from the OCD details exploration just west (R02W) of the Continental Divide and to the east (R01W, R01E, etc.).
More gas appears to be produced West of the Continental Divide, while oil dominates production more to the East.
Production along Hwy 112 seems rather localized with non-producing Township/Ranges (0/103) surrounding those leases proposals east of the Continental Divide.
Such limited oil and gas prospects east of the Continental Divide needlessly risk all good drinking-water-resources.
