Dear Commissioner Martens,
Please support the following:
Expanding the scope of the draft SGEIS to include additional concerns, notably how to manage gas drilling wastewater;
Establishing Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees to help DEC revise the draft SGEIS;
Providing at least 30 days public comment to identify additional issues to be included in the draft SGEIS scope;
Requiring 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.
Horizontal Hydrofracking is the greatest threat faced by upstate NY in my lifetime.
Please fulfill your responsibility to protect NY's greatest resources: clean water, clean air, and clean soil.
Thank you,
Robert N
