We call upon the Board of Supervisors to enact a county wide ban prohibiting the sale, purchase, application, or disposal of oil/gas extraction wastes, including HVHF wastes on county roadways, or in county waste/water treatment facilities, and county owned properties.
Why is this important?
The toxins and radioactive materials found in hydraulic fracturing waste are detrimental to public health and should be kept out of the water supply, and off the roadways. High volume hydraulic fracturing wastes must be banned from water treatment facilities to safeguard the drinking water supply for our county. Neighboring counties have enacted bans prohibiting fracking wastes. Our Board of Supervisors needs to act to protect the drinking water supply for the residents of Livingston County, NY.
