Initiative 3 reasserts, through the public trust doctrine, the public's ownership and right of access on Colorado rivers and streams.
Initiative 45 prohibits the destruction of the public's water by any means.

"It didn't take long to notice significant impacts to the water... We had neighbors that actually had livestock die from drinking the water. And we also saw really huge impacts to our way of life. The farm fields are full of well heads now... We've seen over a 50% devaluation in the value of our land. We've been hit on every front with this. The idea that this can be done safely and without impact, I think that we could disprove that real quickly if you come see us here in Pavillion, Wyoming."
- John Fenton, Farmer in Pavillion, WY

Welcome to Routt County Frack. We aim to be Routt County's resource for information on fracking in Routt County. There is a lot of conflicting information regarding this oil and gas extraction technique, and we aim to provide accurate and up to date information on the practice locally, in Colorado, and nationally. 

We believe that an educated citizenry is a powerful force. We therefore aim to communicate the realities of modern oil and gas development so that Routt County can have a greater degree of control over an industry that is soon to be a significant presence within our communities.

Please sign up for our newsletter on our Sign Up page. You can also email any questions you might have to info@routtcountyfrack.org. 

Thank you for taking an interest in Routt County's future!
