Please read the Fall 2011 Colorado Public Radio interview with Governor Hickenlooper posted below. Hickenlooper says "we can't find examples in Garfield County or anywhere in Colorado where fracking has gotten into groundwater." Please write to Hickenlooper to let him know that boom and bust natural gas jobs are not worth the risk to Coloradan's health, and include any studies or stories from your neighbors that you think are relevant. Let him know that your votes depend on this issue!

Public hearing on Corridor widening of Tenn.Gas to clean wide paths of NJ State Parks to provide room for increased pipes for fracking gas supply to NE.

State and county officials are negoitating with oil and gas companies as we speak. Once the Payette County P&Z grants any type of permit, rural Paytte County and surrounding areas will be exploited by these gas and oil companies. Fracking is just the tip of the iceberg. All natural gas must be refined at a gas dehydration and compression facility. This removes some 50,000 gallons on "product water" and 40,000 plus gallons of "waste oil" a day. The oil can be sold but the product water is either trucked to yet an undetermined location or just dumped at or near the site for evaporation in unlined catch ponds. My wife and I have done countless hours of research, because an oil and gas company has requested a conditional use permit next to our property on 13 acres of prime agricultural ground. All the information we have gathered has had no positive effects on anyone but the oil and gas industry. Get the word out ,get involved, once the pandoras box is opened we as citizens of Idaho will pay the price.
