Protect Our Children. Stay a Mile Away
Stop permitting gas and oil drilling infrastructure near our children. Parents do not send children to school to be exposed to toxic, explosive, radioactive industrial activity. DEP does not regulate, monitor, or prevent fracking next to schools. DEP grants permits. Legislative action can enforce a mile wide set-back.
Why is this important?
We cannot expose a generation of children to lifelong consequences.
In the Marcellus Shale field 730 wells are already permitted within two miles of a school. No emergency plan, trained personnel, special equipment, routine monitoring, or specialized skills are mandated. We must act to keep gas industrial infrastructure a mile away from our children in school.
