Ban Frac Sand Mining in Houston County, Minnesota!
I support the proposed Amendment to the Houston County Ordinance that prohibits the mining of silica sand for use in hydraulic fracking.
Why is this important?
On September 29, the Houston County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on an Amendment to the County Zoning Ordinance that will prohibit the mining, transportation and processing of sand used for hydraulic fracking. If frac sand mining is allowed in our County, local roads will be severely damaged, the air and water will be polluted, property values will decline and the scenic beauty of our County will be destroyed. We need your help and support to prohibit frac sand mining in Houston County, Minnesota. If you are a resident of Houston County, please help protect your County by signing this petition today! Ask your friends to sign it also.
