“These fines continue to bring no real change to pollution. It’s inhumane. It’s disrespectful,” Guadalupe Solis, director of environmental justice programs at Cultivando in Commerce Cit…

Cultivando, an Adams County-based organization serving the Latino community that advocates for health equity, organized a rally called “Our Health Matters More Than Cheap Gas” at the Colorado Capitol in Denver on Friday, April 21, 2023. The group held the rally to call for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to hold Suncor Energy accountable for pollution its refinery releases.

“These sorts of actions don’t add up. It feels like you’re setting them up for future violations to occur because no real additions for future oversight or curbing emissions are really being proposed,” he said. The environmental plans are not lieu of fines, but they can influence the amount a company pays in penalties, he said.

It’s likely the council will make the vouchers in even higher amounts for people who live in the zip codes specified in the Suncor settlement, Sabados said. Plus, a discount created by the Colorado General Assembly will be available next year to make the equipment even more affordable. That’s a detail that led Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio to ask questions during the recent trip to Washington.
