Completely ignored because the answer is "if I can see it from any vantage point near my house" it's too close. The argument is for more regulation and further distance from houses, but it's just presented that way. It's for no drilling near anyone and that's not going to happen without changing mineral law that has been on the books forever. 

This deal with XOG got BOTH and it STILL wasn't enough to keep people from being outraged. Broomfield got local regulations in place and a seat at the table for 18 months of negotiations and Adams county got the sites placed double the state standards for distance.
