Letter From Joe Levine to NYS DEC

Letter from Joe Levine, co-founder of DCS, NYH2O and Citizens For Water, to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in response to the Draft SGEIS 2011
By Joe Levine, January 11, 2012

My comments focus on migration of fluids and gases through natural faults and fractures in the NYS geology that will be precipitated by high volume, slick-water hydraulic fracturing. This issue is of critical importance because it will have a profound detrimental and potentially catastrophic impact on ground and surface water. There is no way to control migration of fluids and gases caused by fracking. The most recent draft SGEIS however dismisses the fact that migration of fluids and resultant contamination is a probability, although there is overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. Attached is a selection of reports, studies and scientific papers documenting migration of fluids and gases through faults, fractures and fissures in the naturally fractured bedrock geology of New York State.
