Fracking
Dear Frackactivists and Friends:
In New York City today, the last hearings will be held on the New York
State Proposed Gas Drilling Rules. New York State was the first state in
the union to pass a moratorium, and lead the way in protecting its
citizens, so it’s critical that we get as many people to this hearing in
support of a Ban on fracking and expose this negligently flawed document!
If you are in the area, this is your last opportunity to come and comment
in person!
As it now reads, the draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact
Statement does little to protect New Yorkers from the dangers of gas
drilling and extraction. Whether it is the lack of defined disposal methods
of the toxic wastewater or the inadequate buffer between drilling
operations and water wells, whether it is the loophole allowing companies
to hide what chemicals are in their frack fluid, or it is the deplorable
lack of a Public Health Impact Study, the dSGEIS is not
acceptable. Fracking is intrinsically contaminating and no amount of
regulations will ever make it safe.
