To: Sandoval County Commissioners
Sandoval County Commissioners -Hold the Oil and Gas Companies Responsible
We urgently ask the Sandoval County Commissioners to significantly revise the inadequate plan currently being considered regarding oil and gas development and exploratory fracking.
We ask that they negotiate for responsible ordinances that will:
•Protect the water, air and soil of Sandoval and Bernalillo County
•Require safety
•Regulate ongoing operations
•Specify the criteria for unacceptable pollution
•Address post permit enforcement with independent inspections and monitoring
•Require reimbursement for Sandoval County's post permit obligations so tax payers are not impacted
•Encourage economic development of alternative energy sources along with oil and gas.

Why is this important?
Fracking is coming to our neighborhoods and there are no adequate protections or ordinances. Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Placitas, Cuba, Bernalillo, Indian Land and the surrounding areas be affected! We need to demand that our Water, Air and Soil are protected!
