Ciris agrees to fines, water testing at Powder River Basin well sites
Denver-based Ciris Energy has agreed to pay a $1,500 fine and conduct water testing at Powder River Basin well sites where it injected chemicals that feed underground microbes that produce methane gas.
State officials are testing more water wells in the Fort Lupton area after hearing from residents who want to know if they're in danger of the same problem that caused a neighbor's tap water to catch fire.
