MESA, Colo. - An oil and gas exploration is up for review in Mesa, Colorado and the Bureau of Land Management wants your opinion on it.

Genesis Gas & Oil Colorado, LLC is proposing to drill five vertical wells on separate pads. The company leases 27,000 acres in the area.

In doing so, an additional 3.5 miles of roads will have to be constructed to complete this project.

The BLM is preparing an environmental assessment of the proposal and welcome any opinion from the public on the matter.

You can submit your written comments and questions to the Grand Junction Field Office at 2815 H Road, or email them at gjfo_webmail@blm.gov.

I THINK IT SUCKS. THERE ARE BOATLOADS OF OTHER PLACES WHERE THESE PEOPLE CAN DESTROY THE COUNTRY AND NO ONE WILL CARE. THE AIR AROUND MESA IS STILL WONDERFUL, ALLOW THESE PEOPLE IN AND SOON IT WILL STINK AS BAD AS THE BATTLEMENT/PARACHUTE DOES NOW.
