Colorado Newsline: Colorado regulators on Friday released more information about the alleged falsification of contamination data for hundreds of oil and gas sites by a pair of consulting firms, including a map of the locations in question.
Staff from the Energy and Carbon Management Commission disclosed last month that employees of two firms, Eagle Environmental Consulting and Tasman Geosciences, had manipulated laboratory data relating to soil and groundwater contamination at 344 locations in Weld County. The falsified reports were submitted to the ECMC as part of spill cleanup and site remediation procedures between 2021 and summer 2024, the agency said.
ECMC director Julie Murphy updated the agency’s five-member board of commissioners on its investigation in a Friday hearing, reiterating that the alleged data falsification — which the agency first became aware of in July — does not pose “new risks to public health.”
