In April, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors passed emergency ordinances based on false and unproven claims of water contamination in the Fox Canyon aquifer. So why isn’t anyone investigating?

CFROG Blatantly Misrepresents USGS Findings in Oxnard Activists in Ventura County are blaming oil operations for water issues in Oxnard, yet the experts they cite found “no evidence of oil field water mixing with groundwater.”

CFROG Descaradamente Tergiversa los Hallazgos de USGS en Oxnard Activistas en el Condado de Ventura están culpando a las operaciones de petróleo por los problemas con el agua en Oxnard; sin embargo, los expertos a quienes citan no encontraron “ninguna evidencia de que el agua del campo petrolífero se mezcle con el agua subterránea.”
