Colorado air pollution regulators made the rare move this month to extend the public comment period on a permit that would allow a pipeline company to expand its gasoline storage facility across the street from an elementary school in a neighborhood north of Denver.
The extension comes amid criticism that regulators at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and executives at Magellan Pipeline Company did not communicate with people about plans to expand gasoline storage at the Dupont Terminal at 8160 Krameria St. in unincorporated Adams County.
The expansion would increase the amount of toxins released into the air in a community that already suffers a disproportional amount of pollution compared to the rest of the state.
