Correction: Erie-Wells story

Published



ERIE, Colo. (AP) — In a story Aug. 13 about 13 oil and gas wells approved by Erie town trustees near two subdivisions, The Associated Press reported erroneously that some would violate state drilling setback rules. State rules require wells to be at least 500 feet from homes and 1,000 feet from heavily occupied buildings, like schools. Some of the wells would be within about 800 feet of the nearest home.
