Fracking California & the Delta A new method to get gas and oil out of the ground was invented in 1998. “Horizontal Fracturing” or simply “FRACKING” development in California is very closely related to the BDCP and the New Water Plan. This presentation reviews the timeline of the CALFED/BDCP as it relates to fracking activities in and around the Delta.

11-13-14 Tyler Island just off Walnut Grove Road, near Guisti’s, and
right next to a levee off the North Mokelumne River….. Is this a new
fracking well going in?
Timeline of CALFED-BDCP & Delta Fracking
1997
http://www.DeltaREvision.com and go to the “timeline” page. You can point your mouse and click on the words to
go to pages or more information regarding the particular subject. Understanding who was doing what for what
reason at what time helps to make sense of what we’ve been seeing and experiencing here in the Delta!
What is Fracking?
How can you create “integrated solutions” that will have sucessful outcomes if you ignore the major source of water contamination?
Side profile of area wells, add fracking
BDCP “forgot” to account for the impacts of reduced river flows: the aquifer does not replenish, the water quality declines due to fracking residue, and there is an increase in salinity of groundwater due to horizontal fracking-not just saltwater encroachment from the Bay. Look into disposal of brine water from fracking!

http://deltarevision.com/deltagasexploration.htmlOther Delta locations where fracking wells have gone in…Sherman Island and the “seismic risk” studies:
DRMS Phase 1 reports and 2 Ryer Islands Why didn’t the writers of the DRMS Phase 1 report disclose the concern that fracking might “induce” seismic events? Does the prediction of earthquakes include computer assessment for fracking the area?
Injections wells-impacts from toxic chemicals left in the wells There are new “injection wells” in many areas of the Delta now. You can drive around and see new fracking locations off Hwy 12, on Andrus Island, Staten Island, possibly Ryer Island and in many areas of the Yolo Bypass. Why wasn’t the fact fracking is allowed in the Delta considered in the computer modeling- inpacts for the Delta?
Fracking causes sinkholes
Could sinkholes be the reason for
the missing water flow from Georgiana Slough or the deep hole
under the Steamboat Slough bridge making the Steamboat
Landing beach disappear?According to
Fractracker.org
a Class II injection
well (toxins) was
installed on Staten
Island. Since when
is the “Nature
Conservancy” in
favor of injecting
toxins into
groundwater?Missing water from Georgiana
and the dying oaksFracking the Yolo Bypass
Why didn’t the BDCP address the impact of fracking
on drinking water wells of the Delta?BDCP “restoration” areas Why does it appear there are tule ponds near all the new fracking sites? Do tules help diffuse the toxins?
DRMS Phase 1 and many DWR documents focus on subsidence, but fail to recognize that fracking is known to cause subsidence in other areas. Did DRMS scientists factor in the impacts of fracking subsidence when determining the estimated rate of subsidence per island in the future?
Is there any credible study on the effects of fracking fluids on tules used to diffuse the toxic fluids? Effects on bugs, birds, fish and animals that reside near or consume the tules?
Nearby “seismic event” which may have been instigated by
fracking activities in the area…The Napa & Vallejo quake
What can we do about this?
1. Have your drinking water well tested to make sure it is safe to consume. 2. If you see a constant stream of truck and transfer loads going by, report where they are going to the people running http://fractracker.org or similar website. (Food & Water Watch) 3. Let your supervisors, assemblypersons, senators, congresspersons, governor and president know FRACKING IS BAD FOR CALIFORNIA DRINKING WATER (if the toxins are allowed to be left behind to contaminate future drinking water)! 4. Learn more and share with others about fracking-they will not get the whole truth from mainstream media! Book: The Frackers. Report: On Shaky Ground.
