No Fracking in Sandoval County!

I urge you to protect our drinking water by denying any permits and implementing an immediate moratorium and any new oil/gas drilling.

Why is this important?

SandRidge Energy wants to start fracking near Rio Rancho City Limits. While the Sandoval County Planning & Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend rejection of the SandRidge Energy permit, we still need the Commission to reject SandRidge altogether and adopt stringent legislation to preserve our water and air!

The toxic results of using hydraulic fracturing to extract natural gas have led to the contamination of drinking water, earthquakes and dangerous explosions in states across the country. In order to protect our essential water resources, we need our county officials to enact an immediate moratorium on any oil/gas drilling.
