A view across fields and hillsides of the Roan Plateau this week. The plateau rises 3,500 feet above the Colorado River Valley, north of Rifle and Parachute and southwest of Routt County. The plateau, a battleground for land use debates about oil and gas drilling, with a fate yet to be decided, is home to a range of wildlife including mule deer, elk, mountain lions, bald eagles and peregrine falcons.
Aspen trees stretch into the sky this week on the Roan Plateau, an area also filled with junipers, firs and oaks. U.S. Rep. John Salazar, a Manassa Democrat who represents Routt County and the plateau area in Garfield County — both part of Colorado’s Third Congressional District — has spent months fighting to prevent drilling atop the Roan, as part of a sweeping energy bill that is now awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.
Crews with Enterprise Products Partners construct the new Meeker Gas Plant on an isolated site surrounded by sagebrush and sprawling hills in rural Rio Blanco County. Enterprise is partnering with EnCana, a leading producer of natural gas and oil in North America, to build the plant. A second facility is scheduled for construction directly behind the plant shown above. In July, EnCana announced second-quarter revenues of more than $2.5 billion in 2007. The Meeker Gas Plant is accessed from Rio Blanco County Road 5, a growing industrial corridor between Meeker and Rifle that is increasingly filled with energy development facilities. Traffic along C.R. 5 can move slowly, as heavy, industrial-size semitrailers pack the windy, two-lane road.
