<<   Upcoming DEC Hearings on Fracking  >>

New York Department of Environmental Conservation has issued a Revised Draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (dSGEIS) on Well Permit Issuance on Horizontal Drilling and High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing in the Marcellus Shale. The 2009 draft SGEIS received over 13,000 comments and was ordered by former Governor Patterson for revision and re-release. The revised impact statement, officially released on September 7th, 20011 is currently under review and open to a public comment period ending on January 11th, 2011 at 5pm.

<<   Don't Frack with the Delaware!   >>

The Delaware River is the drinking water source for over 15 million people residing in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. We must demand that the DRBC protect this vital waterway from dirty drilling. 

What you can do:

Call the Governors and President Obama TODAY and tell them don’t drill the Delaware, and don’t approve ANY regulations to permit fracking!
