Citizen Groups

Over the past few years, dozens of groups have formed consisting of people concerned about the impacts of industrial frac sand operations. Many of these groups are simply neighbors or residents who began meeting in order to study the impacts of frac sand mining and to find ways to express their concerns. Some groups emerged in response to specific frac sand operations or proposals, while other groups are more regional in scale and address broader issues and impacts. As with any grassroots effort, the longevity, size, organizational capacity, values, and influence of the groups vary widely and evolve over time.

Here is a partial list of citizen groups that have a public web presence as of late 2012:

Wisconsin
Minnesota
Iowa

**Please let me know if you would like your group added to or removed from this list.**

We are a grassroots organization of concerned citizens that are trying to stop FracSand Mining from moving into Iowa. We have Native American Mounds on and near the sites and are trying to slow the frac mines up. Any info or help would be great. THIS IS THE FIRST MINE PROPOSED IN THE STATE OF IOWA. Thank you, Robert ACP
