Red Rock Forests first met with the City of Moab to suggest that they adopt a watershed protection ordinance to give the City the authority to protect our drinking water (none of the wellheads are actually within the City limits) from industrial development, including activities like oil and gas. At the time, we were told that this would likely not become an issue, so it was not pursued by the City. Since the announcement of the oil and gas lease sale, particularly the issue of Parcel #225, has brought renewed interest in this ordinance. As such, Red Rock Forests and the Moab Local Green Party have once again provided this draft ordinance language to the City of Moab and Grand County for consideration. |
