In 2006, Allard blocked passage of the Browns Canyon Wilderness Act, a bill widely supported by both Republicans and Democrats in Colorado. The block earned him an "environmental harm demerit" from the environmental group Republicans for Environmental Protection.[1] The group praised Allard for his support of legislation to make the Army Corps of Engineers more accountable for its projects' environmental and economic impact, but censured him for supporting oil drilling both offshore and in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.[2] The nonpartisan League of Conservation Voters issued Allard a grade of 29% for 2006. [3]
