The state of Colorado has revoked a permit to an oil and gas company that would have allowed for higher than legal pollution into water upstream from the Southern Ute Tribe.

The permit to J.M. Huber Corp. was in fact granted in error. The state on Monday made public notice of the intent to revoke within 30 days.

The permit would have allowed the company to discharge wastewater with four times the amount of salts and metals allowed by law. The tribe has protested high salt and metal levels in the water.
