Frac Sand in Western Wisconsin jeopardizes the air and water quality as sand is processed for shipping. Trainloads of frac sand spill and pollute as they cross our rich farmlands. Oil Pipelines leak and spill as they cross our land. Now intensions are to ship this dirty oil across the biggest fresh water lake system in the world. Frac sand quarries are changing the landscape in Western Wisconsin from farmland to land covered in tracks from the heavy machinery used in the process.
