No Burn Advisory

Mesa County Public Health has issued a No Burn Advisory from Saturday, June 6 at 7 a.m. until Tuesday, June 9 at 9 p.m. due to fire danger. Burning of any kind, including agricultural burning, is not allowed during this advisory period. Check conditions on our Air Quality webpage.

Today, Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) and Dewberry Engineers Inc formally withdrew their application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a satellite earth station near De Beque. As a result, the Board of Mesa County Commissioners will no longer need to consider the application at its scheduled Feb​. 25​ Administrative Public Hearing.

In a letter submitted to Mesa County’s Community Development Department, SpaceX cited a shift in its long-term network plans as the reason for withdrawing its proposal. The application had requested approval for a facility that would have included 40 ground-based communication antennas on private land off 45 ½ Road.

With the application withdrawn, Mesa County will not need to take further action regarding this proposal.
