The hazards from Fracking to our environment and human health

Greetings:

My name is Carol B R and I live at __ Rd in Van Etten, New York. This is the southern tier of New York state bordering PA where fracking is already happening and has devastated human health and driven people from their homes due to contaminated WATER!!! Our area was being considered as a "sacrifice zone" for New York to introduce FRACKING into the state. Do YOU know how it feels to lose a life's investment in YOUR home because you no longer have a CLEAN WATER SUPPLY? Many people have experienced that very situation. I DO NOT want that in New York State! We rely on groundwater for our supply of drinking water.

I write because I am distressed that YOU have not realized how dangerous fracking is to the health of people, animals, and the environment. Yes, the environment is a living breathing being too, and FRACKING destroys all that is required to keep its vitality.

During your administration, High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking) expanded dramatically across America. This natural gas and oil extraction process has caused unprecedented toxic hazards because it is not regulated on a comprehensive basis in order to safeguard public health and the environment.

While federal authority is limited regarding regulating the actual process of shale fracking, you enjoy ample authority to regulate disposal of the immense quantities of highly toxic and radioactive wastewaters generated by fracking.
That is why I respectfully request that you BAN five outmoded and toxic-polluting oil and natural gas wastewater disposal methods associated with both fracking and conventional petroleum extraction. These historic practices should have been halted decades ago.

waste disposal from fracking

Greetings:

My name is C G and I live at __ Avenue Middletown, RI 02842 and __ Hill Road, Unadilla, NY 13849 .

I write because the expansion of fracking and it's infrastructure is barreling along at a frightening pace. The incoming administration appears to be comprised of a majority that does not support values many of us cherish and prefers to make a profit at the expense of our natural world and our health. Major projects are proposed in both states close to my residences - Constitution Pipeline (NY) and Invenergy's fracked gas Clear River Energy Center (RI). These projects are pitting the corporate giants against the little guy. Both have destructive outcomes if approved. Scientific research has verified the consequences of the practices the oil and gas industry flagrantly employs. The climate and mankind are in peril if oil and gas development goes unchecked. I beseech you to ban the toxic practices described below.

fracking

Greetings:

My name is Dr Susanne __ and I live at __ S Main in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York.

I write because even though fracking is banned in NYS, my area is being used for storage and waste disposal of fracking products. Where I live is the seventh most productive farmland on the planet. An early missionary described this region as, "the terrestrial paradise of the Seneca Indians," and now it is being poisoned.

Regulate Disposal of Fracking

Greetings:

My name is Henrietta W and I live in Olivebridge, New York.

I write because I am 80 years old. I have a granddaughter and she is almost 8 years old. I want to protect her and all children so that they grow up in a world with clean water and clean earth and air. I take care of her three days a week. The other four days I work hard to fight off the oil and gas companies who continually pressure our leaders to exploit our beautiful water and earth and air for their own profit by selling oil overseas. Now the oil corporations are continuously hauling voilitile crude oil by train through our towns and cities and by our water. Our state accepts toxic blow-back waste from Pennsylvania and many towns spread it on our roads - in the winter for ice and summer for dust!!!

During your administration, High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking) expanded dramatically across America. This natural gas and oil extraction process has caused unprecedented toxic hazards because IT IS NOT REGULATED ON A COMPREHENSIVE BASIS (CHANEY LOOPHOLE) IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT!!!

President Obama Please Ban Toxic-Polluting Disposal of Fracking and Conventional Oil and Natural Gas Wastewater

Greetings:

My name is Lou P and I live at __ Rd, Cooperstown, NY .

I write because it is increasingly evident that fracking is dangerous to the air we breath and the water we drink. As an intensive care physician, I take care of high numbers of patients with trouble breathing as well as toxic ingestions. Certainly not all are related to fracking, although the air in Upstate NY could be effected being so near to PA and Ohio, and as I monitor studies looking at water quality from fracking areas, this is very likely to effect people in those areas. We have better and safer means of procuring our energy needs.
