  • Tomorrow's Guest Speaker Info: Dan Olson, Executive Director of San Juan Citizens Alliance

About San Juan Citizens Alliance

In 1986 a group of concerned citizens joined forces, launching the Alliance to protect their families and neighbors from the impacts of unchecked oil and gas development.  Over the years, the organization grew to address a broad array of regional environmental issues, including climate change, coal mines and power plants, rivers, oil and gas development, forest health and lands protections.

The Alliance is currently home to hundreds of members who care passionately about preserving the unique qualities of this region.  They are supported by five full time staff who add decades of technical and strategic expertise to the cause. Below are a few examples of our accomplishments.
  • Secured La Plata County’s first oil and gas regulations mitigating surface impacts from rapidly proliferating coalbed methane gas production.
  • Defended Canyon of the Ancients National Monument against seismic exploration, securing important mitigation commitments to protect archeological sites and rare reptiles.
  • Mobilized more than 70,000 comments against a new proposal for hundreds of coalbed methane wells in the HD Mountains, and secured unanimous resolutions from every local government opposing the drilling
