If you’re concerned about the potential serious life and health effects of hydrofracking and horizontal drilling for natural gas, then it is critical to contact the DEC concerning their proposed Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS). Public comments will be accepted through the close of business on December 12, 2011 by one of only two methods. Read the October Monthly Update for more information, including a document on the problems with the draft SGEIS. To make an immediate online comment go to the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter website at http://www.newyork.sierraclub.org and go the section on gas drilling.
