Promising news coming out of the NYS Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee: new bills that address important gas drilling protections with many co-sponsors.
The first, A10088, prohibits the on-site storage of flowback waste. The second, A10090, prohibits the disposal of drill cuttings at the drilling site. The third, A10091, relates to the regulation of the use of hydraulic fracturing fluids. The fourth, A10092, requires an environmental impact statement to be prepared for any natural gas or oil drilling involving the use of hydraulic fracturing fluid.
This would be a great time for you to write and thank Assemblyman Sweeney and the co-sponsors, and also to write to your Senators to ask them to sponsor a “same as” bill in the Senate. Without a Senate version, nothing will come of this.

I attended one of your meetings in North East Pa. and was sure the young man mentioned to someone in the sudience that the gas that will be drilled in the US will be sent to other countries and we will not really see the benefit of it as we think. Is there somewhere we can get specific information showing this is being transported?
