December 14, 2010
- 109th Congress Energy Policy Act 2005, Title III, Section 327 exempted the use of fracking fluids from Safe Drinking Water Act (SWDA).
- The current 111th congress has let HR 2766 and S 1215 (bills that remove the fracking fluids exemption from the SDWA) stagnate in committee.
- NYS ECL Article 23, Title 3, Section 23-0303 removed home rule from local communities.
- NYS ECL Article 23, Title 9, Section 23-0901 specifies Compulsory Integration.
- NYS DEC issued dGEIS 30-Sep-09 containing several shortcomings/flaws that do not protect our environment.
