EPA says no way out of reformulated gas

indoor dining, personal gatherings

Colorado threatens to sue in 2024

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The Environmental Protection Agency can’t let Colorado off the hook for imposing more expensive reformulated gas to fight ozone pollution beginning in 2024, the agency said in a reply to Gov. Jared Polis’ objections and threats to sue.

The gas, which produces fewer ozone-contributing fumes, should cost about 3 cents a gallon more than normal gas formulations, according to an EPA review.

The EPA’s Washington headquarters told Polis that the Clean Air Act dating to the 1990s requires all penalized areas, like the nine counties of the northern Front Range, to switch to reformulated gas when the agency declares them in “severe” nonattainment for lung-damaging ozone.

The change in classification also requires Colorado’s Air Pollution Control Division to lower the threshold for stationary sources that must apply for permits to 25 tons of pollutants from the current 50 tons. Air pollution control officials have said that will add at least 400 new permits to an already backlogged system.

Emissions and air quality remains an issue in Colorado.

“Gov. Polis has been clear that he will pursue all legal strategies to avoid this outdated and ineffective requirement for reformulated gasoline,” spokesman Conor Cahill said. “It’s clear that this outdated policy would negatively impact Colorado’s most vulnerable, rewind environmental justice efforts and raise costs on people when they need their money most.”

The Polis objection letter said the reformulated gas mandate has “the potential to exacerbate long-standing historic environmental injustices in communities near regional refineries.

line and put new conditions on long-delayed permit renewals.

Polis’ letter said new construction required to supply reformulated gas and higher production levels could hamper air quality progress in those neighborhoods.

clean up ozone in the region and tion or at least get out of it as quickly as possible,” Nichols said. “Instead, the air division has offered up an ozone cleanup plan that it admits will fail.”

While environmental groups do not believe reformulated gas will do much to solve the northern Front Range ozone problems, because current everyday formulations are much cleaner than when the 1990s law was passed, they also dismiss the Polis objections as “reelectionyear theater.”

“The Clean Air Act provisions requiring the sale of (reformulated gas) in areas reclassified as Severe and the timing of those requirements are clear,” national EPA Administrator Michael Regan wrote to Polis. Regan did say the EPA will try to work with Colorado on implementation, and noted the state has “20 months of lead time to prepare.”

The mandate raises serious environmental justice questions, again particularly given the lack of realized benefits that accompany it.”

Brighton and Commerce City’s test positivity rates were both higher than 13 percent. Forty- ve people in Brighton and 29 in Commerce City have died from COVID-19 related health issues. To limit the spread of COVID-19, at least 15 counties moved to tighter restrictions that prohibits indoor and personal gatherings.

The Polis administration did not back down from its objec-

“There’s no way out of it. It’s going to happen,” said Jeremy Nichols of WildEarth Guardians. Colorado knew the ozone downgrade was coming for years, and Nichols likened the state’s reaction to a high school senior failing all their classes and then complaining they couldn’t graduate.

As Denver metro counties continue to inch closer to local stay-at-home orders under Colorado’s system of coronavirusrelated restrictions, the state announced a new level of rules that prohibits indoor dining and personal gatherings — a change that applies to the majority of the Denver metro area and many counties in other regions.

The advocates and allies among metro area elected officials want the state to speed up the transition to lower-emission vehicles, pause air pollution permitting, and put more restrictions on Front Range oil and gas drilling as keys to reducing ozone faster. The state’s proposals so far do not include those extras or others recommended by clean air coalitions.

Brighton police commander remembered for love of life

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton Deputy Police Chief Matt Dominico took a minute to recall something his daughter said shortly after the death of Cmdr. Frank Acosta.

Acosta died suddenly on Sept. 23. He was 56.

“I was talking with my wife, and I told my daughter that one of daddy’s friends at work had died,” he told the audience at Acosta’s Sept. 29 funeral services at Orchard Church. “She had this sad look on her face, and she said, ‘Oh. He was that big guy who wel comed me with open arms.’”

Acosta grew up in Leadville and graduated from high school in 1984. He joined the U.S. Army and was a member of the 82nd Airborne in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He spent eight years as a trooper with the Colorado State Patrol. When he died, Acosta was a commander with the Brighton Police Department.

“Everyone here knows what Frank was all about,” said outgo ing Brighton Police Chief Paul Southard. “Everyone knows he could be the crazy little brother in the room. I appreciated the man he was.”

That included a stint as act ing police chief when Southard battled through COVID-19.

“That was a serious deal, and I had to decide who was going to be in charge,” Southard said. “I tabbed Frank, and he managed to steer the department through a difficult time. That’s the kind of man he was.”

The other theme of the service was Acosta’s sense of humor, sometimes at inappropriate times. Dominico said Acosta had a “larger-than-life” personality and a “knack for lighting the mood.” That was true during a recent command staff meeting at the police department.

“We were out of hand, led mostly by Frank,” Dominco said.

“Several members of the DA’s office were there too and laughing hard as well. Once our guests left, I stood up and said that we needed to be more professional, especial ly when we have visitors.

“Frank was the large part of this discussion,” Dominico con tinued. “After I finished, Frank stood up and said, ‘Yeah, you guys.’ That was my last effort at making those meetings more strict.”

The department changed its an nual awards program so that fam ily and children could attend the picnic-style event. Each member of the command staff presented awards after reading prewritten nomination forms, including Acosta.

“He read a graphic nomination from a particularly heinous sex crime,” Dominico said. “I’m sure the parents answered a lot of sen sitive questions from their kids about what they heard. When Frank realized what he’d read and his audience, he said – with out missing a beat – ‘I’m not the one who wrote it. I’m just reading it.’

“It got to a point where we had to issue a warning when he was speaking at a public event,” Domi nico added.

Southard and Acosta worked security during the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

“We’d been on this for six days. We were a little punchy,” South ard said. “Frank drove us home. We took some side streets, and he wound up driving the wrong way down Eighth Avenue. We laughed about it the entire time. We laughed about it afterward. This is what he brought to the table.”

Acosta earned a master’s degree in organizational leadership from Regis University and a bachelor’s degree in management from Na tional American University.

“He was able to create a special relationship with everyone he knew,” Dominico said. “I’ve had a chance to reflect about Frank and what he meant. He was sure to make your day better. When people from other city depart

ments came by, one of their first stops was Frank’s office.”

“He’d want us to learn from his mistakes,” said the Rev. T.J. Rob erts. “He’d want us to be OK after his passing. He is sending us love from the other side.”

At the conclusion of the hourlong service, the Brighton Po lice Department honor guard removed the flag from Acosta’s casket and presented it to his fam ily. Survivors include his parents, Toney and Cleo; his wife, Kandy; a sister, Laura; children, Timothy and Michelle; grandchildren, Isaih, Jeremiah, Grace and Caleb; and nephew and niece, Tyler and Katelyn.

In reading from a family eulogy, Roberts said Acosta was with the angels “and I’m sure, you’re a boss of the angels.”

“We were so incredibly lucky for your love, your kindness, for making the most out of life,” Rob erts read from the eulogy. “You will be missed dearly every day.”

“We shared laughs. We shared much heartache. But he always remained grounded,” Southard said. “This was a man who gave his all. He was definitely a person who could light up a room.”

“Frank’s importance to the city is clear,” Dominico said. “Frank loved his family fiercely. Each one of us is better for having known him.”

quality protections is for Colorado to actually clean up the air we breathe.”

The new State Implementation Plan for ozone attainment that Polis highlighted in his original letter to the EPA acknowledges up front that Colorado can’t meet tighter 2015 standards by a

2024 deadline, noted Katherine Goff, a Northglenn City Council member and vice president of the communities coalition.

“There are enormous emissions sources that Colorado could clean up right now that would make a huge difference, but the proposed plan largely ignores them,” she said.

Suncor said on Sept. 28 it is working on a $36 million project to be ready to produce reformulated gas by the 2024 summer

driving season, and that they have state health department approval. The Regional Air Quality Council estimates the new gas will reduce ozone-contributing emissions by 200 tons a year, Suncor said.

What the price differential will be is not clear, Suncor added, since much of it depends on how many other suppliers bring reformulated gas into the Front Range market. Suncor said it currently produces about

one third of Colorado’s gasoline, half of the state’s diesel fuel, and 30% of the jet fuel for Denver International Airport.

Mesa Hotline School receives a donation to continue training line work

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For United Power, call it an investment in their future.

Mesa Hotline School received a $20,000 donation from United Power to help with the relocation fund, according to a news release. The Mesa Hotline School trains and educates line workers employed with municipal electric utilities, cooperatives and investor-owned utilities such as Xcel Energy — and United Power.

“The Mesa Hotline School has had a mutually beneficial relationship with United Power for many years,” said Brent Sydow, United Power’s Vice President of Operations. “Working foremen from United Power have invested hundreds of hours at

the school teaching courses to both young and experienced line workers, and our line workers and apprentices have received the highest level of training through the school’s programs and course selections.”

The school has to move and find a new site due to commercial development at its current campus location in Grand Junction. United Power’s donation would help the school with about 20% of its relocation cost, according to officials.

The Mesa Hotline School was established at Mesa College in the 1960s upon the recommendation from two Western Slope electric cooperatives, Empire Electric and Yampa Valley. With expanding local cooperatives to meet the demands of a growing popula-

tion, they needed a state-of-theart facility to train and educate line workers.

The school enrolled 59 students in its first class in 1966. Since then, membership has expanded throughout the country from 15 members to about 80 electric utilities of all sizes, according to officials.

In 2022 about 600 line workers have enrolled in various programs trained by instructors, volunteers, and industry vendors with advanced tools and technology. The courses include underground and overhead equipment training, high tension stringing, and simulated high voltage training.

When the school begins to find a new site, the utility members will help with assistance for relo-

cation costs,

The Mesa Hotline School launched a fundraising campaign this summer to raise $100,000 to help with its next class in May 2023. To learn about the hotline school, visit: www.mesahotlineschool.com.

Brighton picks good time for first win

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

BRIGHTON – It has been a rocky start to the Brighton football team’s season, but the Bulldogs couldn’t have planned a more perfect time to pick up their first win of the season.

Brighton rolled past rival Prairie View 34-14 to win the Superintendent’s Cup to get in the win column. But what excited Brighton football coach Michael Brown the most was how much his team has grown through the first six weeks of this season.

“We have come a long way,” Brown said. “We made some mistakes (Friday), but unlike previous weeks we didn’t let it steamroll us like it has in the past. Tasting this victory will hopefully help us in the coming weeks.”

The rivalry also gave the Bulldogs some extra momentum Sept. 30, and they showed it as soon as they got the ball -- finding holes, fighting for extra yards and just

playing hungry for the victory.

“I’ve always wanted to be a part of this (rivalry),” said Brighton junior Kevin Day, who had two touchdowns in the contest. “Feels great to get the win. We were ready to play, we could have come out at 6 and played the same way.”

After the ThunderHawks went three-and-out on their opening possession, Brighton’s Ivan Ramirez returned a punt to Prairie View’s 4-yard line to set up a Jeremiah Ramos touchdown three minutes into the contest.

The Bulldogs added another score after Ramos broke loose for a 36-yard run. Two plays later Day capped the drive with a touchdown to give Brighton a twotouchdown lead.

Prairie View (2-4 overall) answered back late in the first quarter. Colton Lance found a hole on third down to gain 25 yards. Two plays later, Kunio Eshimo and Ondray Reed connected on an 8-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 14-7.

Brighton added another score in the second half when Izaiah Schoepp found the back of the end zone on the opening possession of the half. Eshimo led the ThunderHawks right back. He connected with Quintin Winzent for a 40-yard gain and again for 29 yards, and Lance found paydirt to cut the lead to six and give Prairie View the momentum.

However, Day returned a punt 72 yards up the Prairie View sidelines for a touchdown to seal the victory. Jordan Leete added another touchdown for Brighton late in the contest.

“I was proud of our kids. They hung in there,” Prairie View coach Tim Cardenas said. “We had it down to a one-score game and gave up that punt return, and that took the air out of our sails.”

Cardenas said after the contest he is going to emphasize his players staying focused, an issue that hurt them with penalties and missed tackles in the contest.

“We didn’t control the field, and

we have a lot of growing up to do,” the coach said.

Prairie View will look to right the ship on Friday when it visits Legacy at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7, at Mountain Range High School, while Brighton will look to extend its winning streak with a contest at Mullen at 6 p.m. Oct. 7.

New PepsiCo facility breaks ground near Commerce City

PepsiCo Beverages of North America broke ground on their new manufacturing plant just south of Commerce City on Sept. 27.

The plant is scheduled to open in 2023 and generate 250 new

jobs, in addition to retaining the 250 jobs they already employ in the area.

Erica Edwards, senior vice president of supply chain, described how it will be PepsiCo’s largest manufacturing facility

and how they’ve implemented sustainable design.

She said the plant might be powered by 100% renewable energy. As well, they will have water recovery, meaning any water that comes out of the

facility as waste will be treated and used again.

Edwards said the company chose the area because of the 100 acres of land available to build the 1.2 million square feet facility.
