Hydrofracking would be a mistake in NY

Hydrofracking would be a mistake in NY. The evidence is clear that it will not help NY economically or in any other way. I call upon you to expand the scorfe of the draft SGEIS to include additional concerns that have arisen sice this flawed document was originally promulgated, establish Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees to help DEC revise the draft SGEIS, provide at least 30 ­ 60 days public comment to identify additional issues to be included in the draft SGEIS and require individual EIS reviews for horizontal hydrofracturing permits, “GA effluent limitations†for hydrofracturing, deep well injection and wastewater treatment as well as updating DEC’s 1992 GEIS. That the GEIS was done almost 20 years ago should raise red flags to you about its relevance.

Please. You (we) have only one chance to get this right. The consequences of hydraulic fracturing are dire.
