deeply concerned regarding the potential threat

To: DEC Commissioner Nominee Joseph Martens / EPA Regional Administrator, Judith Enck

I am deeply concerned regarding the potential threat and impact on the environment hydaulic gas drilling will have in New York State and ask that you support the following:

Expanding the scope of the draft SGEIS to include additional concerns, notably how to manage gas drilling wastewater;

Establishing Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees to help DEC revise the draft SGEIS;

Providing at least 30 days public comment to identify additional issues to be included in the draft SGEIS scope;

Requiring individual EIS reviews for horizontal hydrofracturing permits, "GA effluent limitations" for hydrofracturing, deep well injection and wastewater treatment as well as updating DEC's 1992 GEIS.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Nancy L
