350 Colorado recently released a report on showing that students, staff, and community at Bella Romero Academy in Greeley have been routinely exposed to levels of benzene above 8-hour health standards that are most appropriate for schools from Extraction's neighboring fracking site.

We are calling on Governor Polis to direct the Colorado Department of Public Health to:

#1 Suspend Extraction's operations at Bella Romero Academy and shut in the wells.

#2 Adopt the most protective standards for toxic emissions from oil and gas sites near occupied buildings and especially by schools.

#3 Preemptively model and continuously monitor the emissions at these sites and make the data available to the public in real time online.

#4 Issue warnings whenever these thresholds are approached and immediately shut down operations if they exceed standards.
