Dear Ms. Enck,

I write to you today to request that you provide at least 30 days
immediate public comment to identify additional issues that might be
included in the forthcoming draft SGEIS scope for hydrofracking.
Also, I request that you expand the scope of the draft SGEIS to
include additional concerns, notably how to manage gas drilling
wastewater. Furthermore, I ask that you establish Citizens and
Technical Advisory Committees to help the DEC revise the draft SGEIS.
Please require individual EIS reviews for horizontal hydrofracking
permits, "GA effluent limitations" for hydrofracturing, deep well and
wastewater treatment, as well as updating the DEC's 1992 draft GEIS
which is now woefully out of date.

It's not enough to comment on the previous regulations because they
did not address air impact, cumulative impact, or health impacts of
this type of gas drilling. The citizens of NYS need to see those
studied EXTENSIVELY before releasing the SGEIS. The health and safety
of the water, air, soil, environment, and most importantly, the
citizens of this state depend on it.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Swami T
