GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - Ursa Resources has withdrawn a request for a zoning change it would need to operate a wastewater injection well in Garfield County.
The Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction reports (https://bit.ly/2kSBJOS ) that developer Battlement Mesa Co. is reducing the size of a proposed zone district that would allow injection wells by about half, eliminating a portion that included a well-pad location where Ursa had approvals to drill for natural gas and had hoped to operate the injection well.
The revised zone district proposal still would encompass another location to the southwest where Ursa has begun the process of seeking approvals for an oil and gas pad that also could hold an injection well if local and state approvals are obtained.
The Garfield County Planning Commission was set to consider the original zoning request Wednesday. It will consider the revised proposal March 8.
