FILE--In this Aug. 16, 2018, file photo, a pump jack works in a recently constructed residential development in Frederick, Colo. On Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2018, Colorado oil and gas regulators voted to expand the mandatory buffer zone between new wells and school property. The new rule requires new wells be at least 1,000 feet from any outdoor area or building that schools and day care centers use. The old rules require the same size buffer zone but measured it only from buildings, not outdoor areas. That allowed wells to be drilled closer to playgrounds and sports fields.
