This past weekend, I traveled to northeastern Pa

Dear Commissioner Martens,

This past weekend, I traveled to northeastern Pa, just west of Scranton for a friend's funeral. It was most alarming to hear that some of the excellent trout streams, e.g. Bowman Crk. are in danger of being polluted from hydrofracking; some of which already have been.

It has become abundantly clear that we cannot trust the O&G industry to address the pollution associated with hydrofracking. The Industry has finally admitted that their wastewaters cannot be accepted at POTW's. So it is imperative that the DGEIS be withdrawn and significantly revised. .

Therefore I recommend that the DGEIS be revised to include the following:

Identification of the physical/chemical process that should be employed at each site to assure adequate treatment to meet State Water Quality Standards.

At each site, a bond be posted by the O&G company to assure adequate treatment be provided should the company vacate the site prior to completeing treatment.

That a general Fund be established by the O&G industry to assure cleanup from any spills that may occur to any of the waters of New York State.

Respectfully submitted,

Peter M
