Expand the scope of the draft SGEIS

Dear Governor Cuomo / DEC Commissioner Joe Martens / EPA Regional Administrator, Judith Enck,

I am writing to ask your support for the following:

Expand the scope of the draft SGEIS to include additional concerns,
notably how to manage gas drilling wastewater, particularly in light
of the evidence of radioactive waste and chemicals that cause
endocrine disruption and cancer.

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

Provide at least 90 days public comment to identify additional issues
to be included in the draft SGEIS scope;

Require 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.

Sincerely,

Diane M
