Talking Points
Selected Serious Omissions in the flawed ordinance moving forward"
- No safety plan
- No criteria for acceptance/rejection of O&G applications
- No public review of exploratory well applications
- No pre-drilling air/water quality measurements
- No aquifer protection requirements or monitoring
- No groundwater or surface water quality monitoring
- No air emission or air quality measurements
- No verification that operator performs as promised
- No noise or operational hours requirements
- No protection for split estate surface landowners
One of the Talking Points on the safety concerns are not being addressed in the Sandoval County Ordinance Process.
We, the undersigned concerned residents and organizations in greater northern New Mexico, request the following measures be taken to ensure greater public safety and preparedness in case of oil field caused accidents:
- An Emergency Preparedness and Evacuation Plan that addresses all risks from oil operations in the San Juan Basin and Mancos Shale regions to be posted in all Chapter Houses and Pueblo Communites and all of the surrounding County residents with Emergency Contacts for fire, rescue,
- livestock evacuation, medical treatment and emergency shelter, In all public centers and sent to people in the County through a public education infomration meetings, newspaper and through social media.
- Emergency Hotline to local radio, TV and state website (similar to weather alerts) to inform residents of emergency conditions and what actions the public should take for their own safety.
- Oil company website updates on air and water monitoring being conducted at the site of an accident (fire, spill, leak, explosion, collision) within the first 24 hours so residents and the public, including travelers, are kept informed as to air and water quality and levels of risk of exposure.
- Compensation to residents who suffer damages, livestock losses and human health and veterinary costs related to an accident.
- Qualified medical assistance during and after an emergency to assess and if necessary refer for treatment any person injured or made ill as a result of the incident.
- Livestock mortality contact so landowners can report livestock killed as result of accident.

The US Chemical Safety Board has published the following recommendations that would help ensure a more appropriate response in the event of a future accident:
Training for emergency responders, including hazardous materials training;
· Local emergency planning, and community response plans and teams;
· Use of community notification systems;
· Use of an incident command system and the National Incident Management System;
· Conducting emergency response exercises;
· Information sharing between facilities, emergency responders and the community;
Such emergency measures would provide a minimum of assistance for rural and urban residents who have little to no local rescue or medical services and who are living in such close proximity to potentially dangerous extraction operations. Or will be living in close proximity (within 10 miles ) of the potential fracking operations slated for the the Rio Grande Valley in Sandoval County.
Sandoval County has failled to provide us with an Emergency Safety Plan stating that it is a matter of National Security. The County Attorney has failed to provide our attornenys with a citation on the matter that proves they are allowed to withhold such information from county residents. We need you help to pursue this case in court. If you can donate to our cause to protect our communities and help cover our expenses.
