Town Hall Meeting in White Lake Township on Oil & Gas Drilling and “Fracking”

Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash will be addressing residents on the subject of drilling and fracking on April 22 at 6:00p at the Dublin Community Center.

Oil and gas exploration and drilling are coming to our area, although “fracking” may not be part of process in Oakland County.  Many homeowners are worried about spills, noise, groundwater contamination, and increased truck and equipment traffic in urban and suburban settings.

“We want our residents to be informed and learn more about important topics that can affect our quality of life,” said Jim Nash.  “As more and more leases are being signed across the county, residents need to know how this industry can affect the environment,” he added.     

Thousands of acres of land in Oakland and the region have had their mineral rights sold or have been leased to Jordan Exploration and other companies over the past year for exploration and possible drilling.
