FORT COLLINS Come mid-September, Larimer County will impose new rules affecting oil and gas operations in the county.
The rules are among a handful of new local regulations that counties across the state are permitted to write after passage of Senate Bill 181 in 2019.
The Larimer County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 to approve the new rules after extensive hearings and discussion.
In the end, the commissioners appeared to be most concerned with oil and gas setbacks from housing, schools, nursing homes and other potentially vulnerable residents. Those setbacks would include so-called “reverse setbacks,” in that housing developers would be unable to build within established limits around existing wells.

The first phase of the Larimer County Jail’s multimillion-dollar expansion project has wrapped up.
Larimer County commissioners and other county officials toured the completed parts of the $80 million project Thursday, including a new kitchen, laundry area and boiler room. Construction on the first phase of the project was completed July 9.
The new kitchen is about double the size and more open than the old kitchen, which jail Capt. Bobby Moll said will make it easier for jail staff to supervise those assigned to work in the kitchen.
“A lot of thought went in (to this project),” Moll said. “We’re using lessons learned from what we did before.”
