WE NEED YOUR HELP! ACTION NEEDED BY 7/28/14! FPG (Frontier Parent Group) is working to ensure that a proposed drilling site
near Frontier Elementary School does not negatively impact the health, safety or well-being of our children, the school, and the community.
SOUTH GREELEY DIRECTIONAL PROJECT: 19 WELLS, 20 TANKS Mineral Resources, Inc. has filed a large oil and gas drilling operation proposal, called South Greeley Directional, located 1,512 feet away from the Frontier Academy Elementary School building and a little over 1,000 feet from the playground.
This site is very concerning in such close proximity to the school, businesses and homes who will be faced with increased health, safety, traffic, and noise issues. This location is NOT suitable for an industrial operation.
HELP PROTECT OUR SCHOOLS, NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITY;
DEMAND FOR BALANCED RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT!
