This blog was started when an application came about for oil and hydraulic fracture drilling of 8,000 wells in the proposal for Rio Rancho Estates, Rio Rancho and the cultural landscapes of the First Nations.
7 years later there are more impacts coming our way in the Middle Rio Grande Valley.
Hydrogen HUB to Blend methane and H2
LNG Storage facility,
Illegal dumping of nearly 300 tons of Radioactive TENORM Waste,
And Fracking and Industrial Ordinance changes in the Southern MRGV
Here is Asha Canalos speaking at the recent meeting on the firsthand experience of when fracking comes to town and what happened in her community.
We are asking people to come to meeting on June 1st and June 15 to submitted your public comments at the county commission meetings. (Regularly Scheduled meetings)
UPDATE Call to Action: FrackEnchantment County Meeting Make Your Public Comments JUNE 1st cThursday 6PM
Meeting is at the Sandoval County Administration bldg 3rd Floor 1500 Idalia Rd Bernalillo NM 87004
This is a regularly scheduled County Commission meeting and our opportunity to give a passionate comments for a strong comprehensive ordinance plan similar to the County Santa Fe ordinance The County omitted oil and gas discussions from the Agenda this week. We expect them to do that next meeting on June 15th when they will give the P&Z and Planning staff their decision on a direction to move. This is why...
Public comments needed from the citizens who value clean drinking water, clean air, healthy communities and our safety. The above picture shows a frack site now in operation in Sandoval County. Very similar to the site that exploded last year. OCD has issued waivers that allowed these sites within 350ft of homes and schools. This is one reason why we need the ordinance.
Is this what you want to see here?
There are few water protections in the current draft ordinance that will protect the drinking water for nearly 1 million people living in the Albuquerque Basin.
There it is highly likely that there will be 15,000 oil and gas wells up the 1-25 corridor, across the west Mesa and up in the East Mountains.
Think about it. Short term profits and corporate handouts to these carpetbaggers who will leave rotting infrastructure, poisoned water and air, shorten the lives of many people in the region. this has resulted int
respiratory disease, cancers, chronic diseases, in people and dead livestock and animals that are still born and have deformities. The Air and the water table are being poisoned. 3600 spills with no clean up or a 99.5 % rate of no fines since Gov Martinez took office. She received 1 Million Dollar campaign contribution from industry.
Now Ken McQueen Secretary of NMEMRD suggested that Sandoval County streamline the permitting process for wells, along with the drillers state permit, to expedite the process with a 10 day turn around. What would we expect from a former WPX CEO. BTW it was WPX plant that exploded last year.
Not acceptable. Come to the meeting if you want to submit your comments to the County about their support for streamlining the permitting process and not having an ordinance.
If you believe "water is life" you must be there!
