Colorado, along with 15 other states, is poised to sue the federal government for ignoring endangered species regulations in a wide range of infrastructure projects on public lands. “The attorney general, however, has not made a decision on joining the EO lawsuit.”Pacheco did not provide additional information on when the endangered species litigation will be filed or how it will be announced. It would allow crude oil producers in the Uinta Basin to vastly expand drilling and transportation, including by rail through Colorado. Another proposed project in the basin, the bitterly opposed Uinta Basin Railway, would allow for even greater oil shipments. What I do wish to stress is that the Uinta Basin Railway Project is moving forward.”
