As a voting resident of New York State and a concerned citizen I am requesting your support and active influence to secure the following without delay:
A minimum of 30days immediate public comment to identify additional issues that must be included in the draft SGEIS
Expansion of the scope of the draft SGEIS to include additional concerns, notably how to manage gas drilling wastewater
Establish Citizen and Technical Advisory Committees to help the DEC revise the draft SGEIS
Require individual EIS reviews for horizontal hydrofracking permit, “GA effluent limitations†for hydrofracturing, deep well injection and wastewater treatment as well as updating DEC’s 1992 SGEIS.
It is not enough to comment on the previous regulations because they did not address air impact, cumulative impact or health impacts.
WE need to see these studied extensively before releasing the SGEIS.
Respectfully submitted.
Maryl M
