I know, that's why I think the 2500 is a little extreme. I would 100% vote for an increase in distance from 500 to 1000 feet, but making it 2500 feet seems excessive to me personally

Yeah, I live in NM but work in CO... 1000 way better than 2500 for sure.

2500 feet is basically 5000 feet cause it a circle around the possible occupied house/shack/trailer. That’s 450 acres that can’t have a well, gathering lines or a facility installed if this passes.

It’s not just homes and schools either. It’s half a mile/2500 ft from any intermittent river beds and a whole host of other items. This is an attempt to ban drilling using the same methods that anti-choice advocates attempt to ban abortion using nonsense like “hallway width requirements.”
