All three oil and gas companies accused by the Colorado Attorney General’s office of endangering a trout hatchery in a Western Colorado creek with a pipeline construction project say they were blindsided by the allegations and the state’s demand for an immediate restraining order and injunction to halt the project.But a state official said Wednesday his staff talked to all the companies involved.
John Suthers, Colorado’s attorney general, said Tuesday his office had asked the Garfield County District Court for an immediate 10-day restraining order and injunction against three companies, some of the largest in the nation’s oil and gas industry.
