Conservation and public-health groups filed a petition urging the Environmental Protection Agency to require adequate testing of the toxic air pollution emitted by four oil and gas well pads owned and operated by the Bonanza Creek Energy Operating Company. New permits for the facilities fail to require adequate testing of flares used to burn off toxic pollution, according to the petition filed Monday by the Center for Biological Diversity, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, 350 Colorado, Sierra Club and GreenLatinos. The pollutants released by the facilities include volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides pollution, both of which lead to the formation of ground-level ozone, commonly called smog. The facilities are located in an area of Colorado that is home to more than 3.5 million people. The region has suffered from ozone pollution in excess of the EPA’s health-based air quality standard for more than 15 years.
