Durango and La Plata County gets an excellent score on air, water and land at
scorecard.org
Use the zipcode 81301 and you can see it is a healthy place. You can look at others by typing in their zip codes to get an idea how other places stack up to Durango which is in La Plata County. You might look at all the cities in Colorado then compare. You will click on "see how your county stacks up" and it will give the La Plata (Durango) score for air, land, water, etc. and then you can use other zip codes in Colorado to compare. Say Denver, 80201 will do for Denver County. If you don't know the zip codes, go to
zipinfo.com/search/zipcode.htm
and type in the city and state and it will give you the zip code.
The natural gas drilling you have been hearing about is in the HD mountains which the locals are against. They fight tooth and nails in Durango on anything like that. The people in Durango are upset that builders built some 5 story buildings. Many people there are outraged, so the city has put a temporary stop to building highrises until they have several meetings and hear concerns and so forth.
