A plan to drill oil and gas wells on state-owned land east of the Aurora Reservoir in Arapahoe County raised the ire of residents to the west.Angry subdivision residents southwest of the reservoir are trying to stop Civitas Resources from drilling up to 191 horizontal well bores from 16 drilling pads on more than 63 of the 100 square miles of the former Lowry Air Force Base bombing and gunnery range.When Kevin Chan, who recently moved to Colorado, found out about the drilling plan he started a Facebook page called Save the Aurora Reservoir to inform community residents what Civitas is planning.
