There should have been regulations but Hickenlooper quashed them in an underhanded back room deal after supporters of responsible regulation gathered 3 & 1/2 times as many signatures as necesaary to get those proposed regulations on the 2014 election ballot.  

Hickenlooper is directly responsible for what is going on now.  He most certainly doesn't care about his urban Democrat constituents, all he cares is the money involved.

Last summer when Crestone was fracking the Erie well dozens of residents suffered asthmatic reactions and several were forced into hospitals over it. My dose of inhalers was doubled to over $500/month. 

CDPHE is either lying that air quality didn't exceed emission standards of they are not testing for the chemicals causing the problem.  Using diesel fuel in fracking fluid is illegal according to the US EPA, and had been for a couple of years now.  I wonder if CDPHE has been looking the other way on allowing diesel in fracking fluid here.
