The Colorado businessman proposing to build a 500-mile pipeline to carry water from southwestern Wyoming to Colorado's Front Range has asked a federal agency to reconsider its rejection of his permit application. Fort Collins businessman Aaron Million on Friday filed the reconsideration request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The agency last month dismissed his application, saying it was premature and lacked specifics about the proposed pipeline. Million proposes to draw from the Green River at Flaming Gorge Reservoir in southwestern Wyoming. His proposal has drawn opposition Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead as well as county and local governments in southwestern Wyoming and conservation groups. Million says his project is essential to helping Colorado meet its increasing demand for water. The state of Colorado also is evaluating the project's merits.
