Ban Improper Natural Gas Wastewater Disposal

Greetings:

My name is Terry C and I live at __ Ave. in Auburn, New York. I am currently an Auburn City Councilor. I write today because five years ago, before I was elected, Auburn was one of the few municipalities in New York State that accepted natural gas drilling wastewater at its publicly-owned sewage treatment plant. In the New York Times article Regulation Lax as Gas Wells’ Tainted Water Hits Rivers written by Ian Urbina (published Feb. 26, 2011) my hometown was cited as a site that releases “treated” natural gas drilling wastewater into the Owasco Outlet. This raised several red flags especially when set against the current New York State moratorium on horizontal drilling in the Marcellus shale. Immediately a small group of concerned citizens including myself started asking local officials if this was true. The response was defensive and wrought with contentious assurances that this was permitted by the NYS DEC and was a safe practice. We were not assured that this was the case.
