This ordinance makes it illegal in Mendocino County for any entity to engage in fracking and contains within it serious enforcement penalties.  This ordinance begins the crucial process of giving citizens control over their community’s essentials: water quality, power, food, and local resources.  As each community passes these community ordinances, one by one, we the People, gain power to decide, yes or no, when a corporation proposes devastating tactics like fracking.

>>> 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.

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.
