Larimer.org/Planning website updates begin May 2, 2022 

The Planning website will undergo a redevelopment beginning on May 2, 2022 to enable staff to optimize available information for our customers. During construction the site elements and key information will remain, and may be found at larimer.org/planning. The redesign will take several months, and we aim to keep the website functional throughout this process. Please contact us at: p...@larimer.org if you need assistance locating information. Thank you, and we look forward to providing you with a more user-friendly website in the near future.

Dear Mr. Lafferty, 

The division is forwarding the Compliance Advisory issued to Prospect Energy for the Fort Collins Tank battery yesterday.  We expect Prospect to contact us within 30 days, and the division will work with Prospect Energy to resolve these alleged violations.  I am on point for this enforcement action along with my inspection staff, and I will continue to update you as the enforcement action progresses. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks, 

Jen
