VOTE YES ON 112

Below are maps of Colorado counties that would be protected by VOTING YES ON 112.  The maps illustrate the 2,500 buffer zone against occupied dwellings and vulnerable areas that would be off limits to the oil and "un-natural" gas occupation assembly

Currently, you have no rights to safety when it comes to "un-natural" gas and oil fracking imposing on your health, safety, welfare and environment. The industry can burn chemicals to make more chemicals and then release them into the air you and your family breath without consequence.

There have been so many tragic accidents created by the fracking industry that with accidents and violations alone, the entire industry should be shut down. They have more than proven they cannot operate in a safe manner that is fair and balanced with humans and the environment. Millions of gallons of liquid toxic industrial waste (they call it produced water) is still in the environment and has never been recovered.

The industry can legally impose their operational hazards on your life and the COGCC supports this diabolical effort.

This is not an anti-fracking movement, it's a civil rights movement. Your rights to safety have been stripped by the toxic fracking industry's federal exemptions and enforced by the arbitrary and capricious COGCC. Period.

Fracking is one of the dumbest "technologies" ever created. We are smarter than a fossil fuel and please note: The minerals the oil and un-natural gas occupation assembly remove, are not for Coloradans nor Americans. The gas is "Un-Americanly" sold to other countries for high profit margins.

VOTE YES ON 112

The oil and "un-natural" gas occupation assembly is considered heavy industry and should not conduct operations near humans, their homes, schools, playgrounds, hospitals or any public place where innocent people come together.

Will your home insurance company drop your coverage? Will your mortgage lender drop your loan when heavy industry is on, under or adjacent to your property? Will your property lose its value year after year?

If you have ever lived in an area that has one, or dozens, or even hundreds of carcinogenic spewing un-natural gas fracking pads surrounding your house, you'll know precisely why I AM VOTING YES ON 112.

Cannabis sales created $247 million in tax revenue last year far surpassing what the oil and "un-natural" gas occupation assembly could ever think of contributing.

It's time to show the people how we can grow our way out of fossil fuels with hemp.  Hemp is the answer to all of the problems the oil and gas industry has created. Everything made from oil and gas can be replaced with hemp.

Questions: Are the shale zone production values the same as what the oil and gas operators are telling their investors? Do the investors know the real production values?

Did Sandridge Exploration's 3rd Party Trucking Company Hauling Fracking Flowback Water Lie to the COGCC, CDPHE and Other Agencies About the Contents of the Fluids Released During the Crash?

Original story:

Days after a tanker truck tipped over and spilled a large volume of toxic waste steps from the Poudre River, state regulators said they don't know what the truck was carrying or how much it spilled.

• "State Regulators said they don't know how much was spilled"
• State COGCC documents indicated that 200 gallons (of a 5,000 gallon truck) had remained in the tanker truck while it appears 4,800 gallons were released into the environment. 
• The company hired to drive the truck containing the fluids, Bar-S trucks create manifestation reports which indicate origin of fluids, volume and contents of fluids and ultimately, the unused fracking fluid's destination.
• Colorado State Patrol states that because fracking fluids are not regulated there are no fluid volumes or contents.

• "Regulators unsure of fracking truck contents after spill?"
• This statement factually collides with the CDPHE's documents. 

• Regulators also claim they do not believe the fracking industry fluids entered river. 
• How can the "regulators" stand by this claim when a 5,000 gallon truck containing "unused fracking fluids" crashed and released all but 200 gallons into the environment? It was 11:30 PM when the tanker crash happened. There are no lights and emergency response arrived after the fluids were released. The statement wouldn't hold water in court.

Bar-S co-owner Patty Smith, the company that operated the hauling truck that crashed said: The "undesirable” product commonly contains large amounts of dissolved salts, hydrocarbons, trace metals and radionuclides, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

• The aforementioned chemicals are known to be carcinogenic, corrosive, and endocrine disrupting (mutates your DNA) chemicals.  

• Using the word "undesirable" appears to be willful negligence to not inform the public to immediate or long-term potential risk.

Robert Breckenridge, landowner and site of location where the tanker truck spilled. Mr. Breckenridge filed an official complaint with the COGCC. 

Location of concern: “Tanker Spill in my yard in Poudre Canyon at 9552 Poudre Canyon Rd., Bellvue, CO. 80512 at approximately mm 112 on W. State Hwy 14. Issue: I knew it was matter of time until one wrecked at our property because many have been screeching around the corner (sharp curve) and many have sounded like they have just barely made it around curve without wrecking.”

“One did wreck last Thursday evening about 11pm spilling its entire contents of hot black fluid into my yard and down road.I would like to have my well checked for fracking fluid or contaminants from the fluid and get any contaminants mitigated.”

“I would like to have my well checked for fracking fluid orCOMPLAINT contaminants from the fluid and get any contaminants mitigated. Well use: household Well drilled in 2003.”

QUESTIONS AND DEMANDS:

1. DEMAND A FULL POLICE REPORT ON THIS ACCIDENT
2. DEMAND WASTE  MANIFEST BILL OF LADING/ THAT DESCRIBES THE SOURCE OF THE SPILLED WASTE AS PER RULE 906.b.(2)   FACILITY OF ORIGIN, VOLUMES, CONTENTS, MSDS, AND DESTINATION FACILITY.
3. DEMAND EPA REPORTS DUE TO FRACKING INDUSTRY RELATED FLUIDS POTENTIALLY ENTERING WATERS OF THE STATE AND NATIONAL HERITAGE POUDRE RIVER.
4. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE REPORTING PARTIES CLEARLY AND ACCURATELY STATE THAT NO FRACKING INDUSTRY FLUIDS FROM THE CRASH ENTERED THE POUDRE RIVER" WHEN THIS HAPPENED AT 11:30 PM? THERE ARE LITTLE TO NO LIGHTS IN THE REMOTE AREA AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE OFFICERS RESPONDED MUCH LATER IN TIME AFTER THE TANKER TRUCK HAD DISCHARGED WHAT APPEARS TO BE 4,800 GALLONS OF FLUIDS ON, NEAR AND DOWN THE RIVER BANK?
5. THE INITIAL REPORT STATES THAT THE FLUID REPORTEDLY SPILLED WAS "UNUSED FRACKING WATER" AND BECAUSE IT IS NOT A REGULATED SUBSTANCE THE CDPHE WOULD NOT KNOW THE VOLUME OF FLUIDS RELEASED. THE STATE PATROL OFFICER NOTED THAT THE FLUID APPEARED TO NOT EVAPORATE AS WATER WOULD AND HAD RUN A SPECTROGRAPHY ON IT, WHERE THE RESULTS DETERMINED THE CONTENTS WERE "UNKNOWN."
6. DEMAND A FULL RESPONSE AS TO WHY NEARLY EVERY PART OF FORM 19 HAD TO BE REVISED. DATA SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO; DATE OF SPILL, LOCATION OF SPILL, INITIAL ESTIMATED VOLUME OF SPILL, TYPE OF FLUID WAS CHANGED FROM UNUSED FRACKING FLUID TO FLOWBACK, ETC.
7. WERE THE INITIAL REPORTING PARTIES LYING ABOUT THE CONTENTS AND TYPE OF FLUID RELEASED DURING THE ACCIDENT AND THEN LATER CHANGED?
8. TWO SOIL/WATER SAMPLES WERE CONDUCTED ON 08AUGUST 2018 WITH A 24 HOUR ANALYSIS TURNAROUND AND YET 20 DAYS LATER HAVE NOT BEEN UPLOADED TO THE COGCC'S PUBLIC DATABASE. DEMAND ALL ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES TAKEN AT SPILL SITE.

Boulder County Commissioner's Fail to Respond to Questions Regarding Seismic Testing Conducted by the Fracking Industry in Boulder County - Did they participate?

Below is the email with specific questions for the Boulder County Commissioners to answer regarding the seismic operations that appear to have occurred within Boulder County. I submitted my questions via email to the three commissioners on 17 December 2017 some thirty-six day ago. I received an email confirmation that they are in-fact, in receipt of my email and questions, but I have not received a response to date. Crickets…

It is important that all environmental advocates and associated organizations ask the very same questions I have asked and hold the Boulder County Commissioner’s accountable.

Please copy and email the questions below and send to: commissioners@bouldercounty.org

Boulder County Commissioners, Elise Jones, Cindy Domenico, and Deb Gardner:

I am providing you public information sourced from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission’s website database: cogcc.state.co.us compiled on my blog page for your review: Were Seismic Operations Conducted by the Oil and Gas Industry in Boulder County? Supporting Documents May Reveal Answers 

Extended link for review: https://fractivist.blogspot.com/2017/12/were-seismic-operations-conducted-by.html

The information compiled appears to clearly illustrate oil and gas seismic operations took place in three separate areas in Boulder County Colorado (BOCO).  Supporting COGCC documents: Form 20 and Form 20A, state and oil and gas industry mapping also illustrates  these activities took place in Boulder County.

I would like you to answer these questions in a timely manner please.

1.       Do you have access to the information I have provided regarding the COGCC documentation authorizing seismic testing operations in Boulder County?

2.       Did you three commissioners, in whole or individually, have any form of knowledge of seismic activity, permitting, Form 20,20A, mapping, operator information in Boulder County during your active role as a commissioner?

3.       Do you have any digital and or hardcopy correspondence from the three of you, to include the former Commissioner Will Toor,  to and from the COGCC , Anadarko Petroleum Inc., Encana Oil and Gas, Extraction Oil and Gas Inc., and/or their associated industry contractors regarding seismic testing operations within the boundaries of Boulder County Colorado during the time-frames before, during and after the testing dates listed in the COGCC documents provided?  Please accept this as a formal request to obtain all documentation regarding these specific issues from January 2012  through December 2018.

4.       Did Boulder County  planning and zoning, legal team et al,  have  any form of knowledge or information, such as but not limited to; email correspondence, mapping, COGCC communication, oil and gas industry documentation regarding the documented seismic activities by the documented oil and gas industry operators and or their contractors?

5.       Did Boulder County update any mapping systems or datasets to include seismic operations and all associated data on the Form 20/20A and any additional data pertinent to the seismic operations? If so, please provide details to include links to mapping systems and or public data sets.

6.       If an oil and gas operator and their seismic contractors were to want to conduct shale seismic testing/operations in Boulder County, what would be the procedure to do so? Please describe the operational flowchart of requirements, documentation, agencies and people involved to obtain permissions to conduct seismic testing operations in Boulder County.

7.       Do you recognize Boulder County as a location for seismic activities on the mapping, Form 20 and Form 20A that I have provided to you?

8.       If Boulder County approved seismic testing operations would you receive the 2D and 3D surface maps created by the oil and gas operators conducting such a test?

9.       Do you have any additional information you can provide to me for the three areas and operators that have already conducted seismic activities in Boulder County? If so, please accept this as a request for that information.

Thank you for your time and assistance with my requests. Please see attached supporting documents and links.
