RENO, Nev. — Join Frack Free Nevada and Nevadans Against Fracking in calling on Governor Sandoval and the Nevada Congressional delegation to stop the BLM lease sales for hydraulic fracturing When: Thursday, July 17, 7:45am-9:15am Where: Bureau of Land Management, 1340 Financial Boulevard, Reno, Nevada Who: Frack Free Nevada and Nevadans Against Fracking, protectors of Nevadas precious water resources. Others involved include citizens interested in defending Nevada’s water, maintaining the health of Nevada communities, protecting our air quality, safeguarding agriculture and ranching, and preserving habitat for wildlife What: Peaceful demonstration calling for a cancellation of the BLM lease sales Why: The Nevada State BLM Office is holding a competitive sale of federal lands in the State of Nevada for oil and gas leasing. The sale will include 174,000 acres for auction located in the Battle Mountain District (including Reese River Valley) with additional lands being leased in Elko, Southern Nevada, Winnemucca, Carson City, and Ely at upcoming sales. Fracking has brought rampant environmental and economic problems to rural communities. Accidents and leaks have polluted rivers, streams and drinking water supplies. Regions peppered with drilling rigs have high levels of smog as well as other airborne pollutants, including potential carcinogens. Rural communities face an onslaught of heavy truck traffic — often laden with dangerous chemicals used in drilling — and declining property values. It is vital we protect our groundwater, land, animals and citizens, therefore we say NO TO FRACKING! NOTE: Subject matter experts will be available for media interviews, and visual aids will be on hand to explain this important issue
