We are calling for a temporary moratorium
on hydraulic fracturing in Arkansas until state and federal agencies have done the proper human health and environmental impact
studies, proper regulations are in place, and hydraulic fracturing is not allowed within our aquifers. We are calling
for immediate, drastic changes to the entire process. Along with a temporary moratorium, our main goals are to
inform the public about the negative impacts of oil and gas industry activities associated with hydraulic fracturing and to help
obtain better regulations by working with all parties involved.

shows about 4,000 wells. You can download these well location files and explore yourself from our Maps page. Click on each picture to enlarge.
