Comments on: People and Production: Reducing Risk in California Extraction https://www.fractracker.org/2020/12/people-and-production/ Insights empowering action Tue, 16 Nov 2021 19:50:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 By: Kyle Ferrar, MPH https://www.fractracker.org/2020/12/people-and-production/#comment-295236 Tue, 16 Nov 2021 19:50:02 +0000 https://www.fractracker.org/?p=63622#comment-295236 In reply to Jana Moreno.

Hi Jana,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience of living near neighborhood drilling with our audience. It is clear that oil companies are not being held accountable for the negative environmental health impacts they are causing in California. To change this, the coalition called VISION is pushing hard to establish public health setbacks for drilling new wells and to phase out existing extraction near communities. To lend your support to this movement, please take a moment to let Governor Newsom and regulators know what’s at stake. You can submit a letter to do just that here: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/no-drilling.
In solidarity!

In 2017 Linn sold its lease rights to Bridge Energy, LLC.
Since that transition we have witnessed the degradation of the Brea Hills, expanded 24 hour/7days p/wk activities. Several towers have popped up and commercial diesel fueled vehicles trafficking in and out via Site Dr. behind our home 24/7.
I personally suffer chronic asthma, headaches, eyes burning, and frequently smell odd burned type odors late at night into early morning hours.
City of Brea and/or County of Orange allow these activities to continue unchecked and unmonitored. Despite our close proximity and a few complaints we are not provided any information or protection with regard to the oil fields’ activities.
It’s unacceptable!
SHAME ON OUR CITY OF BREA MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, FOR FAILING TO INFORM AND PROTECT IT’S CITIZENS WHO ARE CONTINOUSLY EXPOSED TO HARMFUL TOXINS!
