WE NEED YOUR HELP! ACTION NEEDED BY 7/16/14! Weld Air and Water is working to ensure that oil and gas drilling

does not negatively impact the health, safety, or well-being of the community.

MIDTOWN DIRECTIONAL PROJECT: 37 WELLS, 18 TANKS Mineral Resources, Inc. has filed a massive oil and gas drilling operation proposal, called Midtown Directional, located 1,300 feet from the Ponderosa Mobile home park, 640 feet from the UNC family housing, 350 feet from A&R rentals and 1, 050 feet from Jackson Field.

This site is very concerning in such close proximity to the businesses and housing who will be faced with increased health, safety, traffic, and noise issues. This location is NOT suitable for a massive industrial operation.
