Greetings from Wisconsin, the home of frac sand mining and related industries. We are
inundated with new and upstart mines, processing plants, and transload stations.
The 500 million year old silica sand (frac) from ridges, hills and bluffs is being
transported out of our state, without benefit of taxation, to the hydraulic
fracturing fields located in about 34 states. Scabs and scars are being left
behind as large acreages are being knifed and blasted out of the landscapes of
our countryside. Our citizens including their children are being unfairly
exposed to crystalline silica dust be it from the mines or from the fugitive
dust which seems to be everywhere as trucks, trains, the air etc. distribute
these ancient sandstone formation particulates to the winds.
The connections with the fossil fuel industry are many. In this edition of the FRAC SAND SENTINEL, I have included a few important items. Some of you may already already be aware of the information, but for many of you it may be new and fresh information that can be applied as we learn more about this industry and share our findings with those who may be unaware. It may be helpful to your decision makers in you communities. Feel free to share.
Our webmaster, Henry Boschen, does post the Sentinel on the website for your reference. There are 2 formats: Word and PDF which are attached.
There are many great groups working with their hearts and heads to save our state from total destruction. If you haven't joined a group near you, please make a commitment to do so soon. This is absolutely no longer a local issue; you do not stand alone! And with State, Regional, National and International Connections, we all together can make a difference to end this madness in whatever fashion and with the variable skills we possess!
