Ventura County recently took a stand and put an end to oil & gas permitting loopholes that threaten our air, land, and water.

But right now, oil giant AERA is out in full force with PAID campaigners at grocery stores across Ventura County, gathering signatures to overturn this decision. It could trigger a special election that will cost Ventura County taxpayers upwards of a million dollars!

Help us SPREAD THE WORD – Tell everyone you know to DECLINE TO SIGN this petition. Please use the text and images below and post it on Facebook, NextDoor, or email it around!

There needs to be a full review of earthquake risks before approving additional wastewater injection wells in a fault zone!

THIS JUST IN FROM CFROG —

Could wastewater injection trigger destructive earthquakes in Ventura County? California Geologic Energy Management Division (CalGEM) is requesting public input.

Carbon California oil company wants to drill 3 new wastewater injection wells in a fault zone in Ventura County.

Tell CalGEM that there needs to be a full review of earthquake risks before approving additional wastewater injection wells in a fault zone!

Comment details below

This project above Ojai would inject 3000 barrels per day of wastewater into a seismic active area near the San Cayetano fault.

The San Cayetano fault may be connected to the large Ventura/Pita Point fault which runs through the city of Ventura.

Please join us and urge CalGEM to consider the possible dangers that could result from wastewater injection into an active fault near a major population center.

Wastewater injection in a fault zone can cause fault lubrication, increasing the likelihood of earthquakes. The proposed wastewater wells would be adjacent to several faults, including the Big Canyon and San Cayetano faults, as well as numerous tear faults. These faults connect to the Ventura Fault, and could generate earthquakes in highly populated areas.
