Liveable Arlington: Oppose Fracking Next to Toddlers - Arlington
PUBLIC HEARING ALERT: French energy giant, Total Energies has applied to create brand new drill site named Maverick, right next to their AC360 site in East Arlington with 10 new gas wells for starters.
The site is close to an award winning early childhood learning center and to Thornton, Johns and Adams Elementary schools.
Proximity to gas wells is linked to higher rates of asthma, asthma hospitalizations, birth defects, pre term birth, low birth weight, leukemia, cardiac disease hospitalization, and higher all cause mortality.
Total failed to secure permits to expand its AC360 site in 2020, and again in 2022 after Liveable mobilized massive community opposition against those permits.
Instead of respecting the community’s wishes, Total has come up with a plan to create a brand new drill site with 10 new gas wells right next to the AC360 site.
Almost a hundred residents turned out in opposition at the Arlington City Council hearing on January 28. The council was unmoved and voted unanimously in favor of Total's 10 wells.
We must show up in even greater numbers for the FINAL TWO VOTES on February 25.
