Stop harmful flaring now!

Every single day the oil and gas producers in North Dakota waste valuable natural gas by intentionally flaring or burning the gas on their well sites. North Dakota oil producers flare at a rate almost 7 times higher than other oil producing states like New Mexico and Texas. Flaring is especially bad on the Fort Berthold Reservation where the tribe misses out on almost $19 million dollars in annual revenue due to flaring. Not only is flaring a waste of a valuable resource it also impacts air quality and respiratory health of residents. There is still hope! There is still ...

Every single day the oil and gas producers in North Dakota waste valuable natural gas by intentionally flaring or burning the gas on their well sites. North Dakota oil producers flare at a rate almost 7 times higher than other oil producing states like New Mexico and Texas. Flaring is especially bad on the Fort Berthold Reservation where the tribe misses out on almost $19 million dollars in annual revenue due to flaring. Not only is flaring a waste of a valuable resource it also impacts air quality and respiratory health of residents. There is still hope! There is still time to demand federal action from the Biden Administration to end the wasteful and harmful practice of routine flaring today! Take a moment to take action and tell Biden to stop flaring in its tracks! We can let the polluters off the hook!

President Biden please:
Direct the BLM to strengthen the waste prevention rule and include clear standards to eliminate methane waste through routine venting and flaring!
Direct the EPA to finalize standards to cut methane and other harmful pollutants from oil and gas operations across the country.
When fossil fuel producers waste gas with practices like routine flaring, North Dakotans lose – excessive flaring harms our economy, robs public services of needed resources and harms our health – especially for communities on the frontlines of development
North Dakota lost $43 million in tax and royalty payments in one year (2019) and the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation (MHA Nation) alone lost approximately $19 million in royalties that year.
Methane pollution from the oil and gas sector harms all Americans and is accelerating the pace of climate change and harming the health of our families and frontline communities across the country.
By eliminating pollution from routine flaring, strengthening standards to address emissions at more tanks, and ensuring that communities and individuals have a clear pathway to participate and engage in the Super Emitter Response Program is the only way to make us safer and to slow climate change.
Please President Biden, for all of us, urge your agencies to address these concerns and pass strong rules as quickly as possible.
 
Thank you,
