$With the Pawnee Buttes in the background, combusted pollutants and heat are released into the air from hundreds of VOC vapor combustors across the area surrounding the Pawnee National Grasslands. Volatile organic compounds like hydrogen sulfide, gasses such as methane and other hazardous air pollutants are burned and then vented to the atmosphere. Surrounded by energy development, oil and gas storage tanks, flares and pollution emitting exhaust stacks stand along county road 127 and the road leading to the buttes. Recently the area has been greatly developed by the oil, gas and wind farm industries. Oil companies from around the nation frack the Niobrara oil shale on lands nearby and drill horizontally under the Pawnee National Grasslands. A light brown haze is now viewable over the area when viewed from the buttes overlook.$
