Did you know Utah's Eastern rivers are at risk of being polluted with oil mud?
Say NO to irresponsible changes in the storage of drill cuttings and mud!
The Department of Environmental Quality wants to deregulate the double lining in mud oil pits. What does this mean?
By deregulating it, oil companies won’t be required to use double lining on the pits where they store mud, oil and contaminated water
This waste will be placed irresponsibly on the surface making the toxic chemicals seep into the soil and the water
Most of oil companies are near the Green and Duchesne River, making the contamination of these rivers inevitable
Send an email to the Department of Environmental Quality and make them stop putting our soil, water and children at risk
Conservative values include preserving our environment. Learn how irresponsible policy changes impact you:
Health and Safety: Irresponsible changes in the storage of drill cuttings and mud could lead to contamination of our water sources, compromising our health and safety.
Community Health: Potential pollutants from drill cuttings can affect drinking water quality. Responsible energy policies ensure we can have clean energy without sacrificing our environment.
Future Generations: We need to safeguard our soil and water for future generations. Irresponsible policy changes threaten this safety and will harm future energy production when environmental damage occurs.
Wildlife at Risk: The health of wildlife such as fish and game is at risk. Polluting our water affects the fish and game of our state, impacting fishermen and hunters.
Share this with all your friends and let them know they can take action too. We need you to make a change, to protect our children and protect our water. Together we can!
