EPA Gas Drilling Meetings
As you have probably heard the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will host four public meetings on its proposed study of the relationship between hydraulic fracturing and its potential effects on drinking water. The last is scheduled for Aug. 12 at Binghamton University's Anderson Center for the Performing Arts.
As you know, in 2004 under the Bush Administration the EPA issued results from a study showing that fracking poses no threat to water. Now, Rep. Maurice Hinchey has initiated another EPA study which they hope to have completed by late 2012. These meetings will provide information for the public on the scope of the review and will also give the public a chance to comment.
Three sessions will be held on August 12th: 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon, 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. We strongly encourage each of you to sign up and attend one of the sessions.
