ordinance, first and foremost is intended to return power from the Federal,
state and corporate level, and return it to the citizenry of Mendocino County<u>.
This ordinance makes it illegal in Mendocino
County for any entity to
engage in fracking</u>. The ordinance begins a process, to give citizens
control over their community, water quality, power, food, and local
resources. As each community passes community ordinances, one by one we
gain power to decide, yes or no, when a corporation proposes devastating
tatics, ie fracking.</span><span style="font-family:Arial"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:green">The Mendocino County Community Bill of
Rights Ordinance proposes to assert the right of residents of the County to
local self-government, to clean water, air and soil, and freedom from chemical
trespass. It would establish rights for natural communities and ecosystems, and
empower community members and the County government with legal standing to
enforce those rights. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:green"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:green">To secure these rights, fracking and related
activities would be prohibited within the County, with the exception of wells
already established and in operation at the time of adoption of this Ordinance.
In addition, corporations engaged in the unconventional extraction of
hydrocarbons, or intending to do so in the County, could not avail themselves
of certain legal rights and powers which would enable them to nullify the
rights and prohibitions secured by this Ordinance.</span></p>
