By repeating the false claims on water safety, Carmen Ramirez is misleading the public and willfully ignoring the many safeguards in place to protect aquifers.

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?

After rushing through its public comment period last month, Ventura County leaders are now sneaking new policies into the General Plan without any public comment at all.

Supervisors have set an unrealistic deadline for input ahead of a final vote on the county’s 2040 planning guide, limiting engagement with constituents.

Using arguments that align with recent activist misinformation, one Ventura County Supervisor fails to tell the full story in an effort to ban new production in Oxnard.

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.”

The activists’ unfeasible “keep it in the ground” approach would increase California’s dependence on foreign oil – and severely damage Ventura County communities.
