Hi Amazing Poudre River Lovers! It's time to take ACTION! The new Larimer County Commissioners have many options for how to handle the biased, illegal NISP permit -- and the lawsuits against it -- that was issued by the previous Commissioners (Donnelly and Johnson) just weeks before they left office. We need you to reach out to the new amazing Larimer County Commissioners -- John Kefalas, Kristin Stephens, and Jody Shadduck-McNally -- and very respectfully and professionally ask them to "RECONSIDER" the biased, illegal permit issued by the former Commissioners. Recall, Commissioner Kefalas -- now the "Chair" of this new Commission -- voted against the NISP permit. We've made a simple form, with a friendly letter, for you to send them a quick email.

PRESS RELEASE: Thornton Pipeline TABLED
For Immediate Release
August 1, 2018
Contact: Gary Wockner, Save The Poudre, 970-218-8310
Fort Collins, CO: Tonight, the Larimer County Commisioners “TABLED” the Thornton Pipeline application until December 2018. After multiple meetings and public process and testimony, the Commissioners voted unanimously to TABLE Thornton’s 1041 permit to run a massive pipeline across northern Larimer County carrying Poudre River water. All three Commissioners said that Thornton did not consider alternatives, especially the ‘Poudre River Option’. The Commissioners want more public outreach and information.
“Thornton now has a tremendous opportunity to work with, not against, the people of Larimer County and do the right thing for the Poudre River by choosing the ‘Poudre River Option'”, said Gary Wockner of Save The Poudre. “We’d be delighted to work with the City of Thornton — as we have told them for 10 years now — to see them run their water down the Poudre River thereby providing great benefits to the river and the people of Larimer County while still ensuring Thornton’s future water supply.”
