Working to preserve NC's Deep River Shale Basin's Clean water Please begin your education on this issue. We invite you to join with us today.
We are a group of NC citizens, students, nurses, well drillers, families, farmers, bikers, welders, lawyers, aldermen, businesspeople, and children who love and are grateful for the water that nourishes our lives. We live in the Deep River Shale basin of NC, an 150 mile area that stretches from South Granville County to Lee, Rockingham and Anson. We began this group to educate others about the high risks of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, that is looming in NC.
