“Responding to New Fracking Regulations”
December 22, 2012
“Responding to New Fracking Regulations”, Monday, December 17, at the Unitarian Church of Ithaca (corner of North Aurora and Buffalo Street). Sponsored by the Tompkins County Council of Governments (TCCOG), the program will run from 7:00 – 8:30 pm, followed by refreshments and opportunities to write comments to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
5:40Martha Robertson introduces the speakers.
17:33Dr. Anthony Ingraffea, Dwight C. Baum Professor of Engineering, Cornell, explains the structure of a properly constructed comment, and gives examples of DEC’s responses to his own comments in the current proposed regs.
4:28Martha Robertson, Chair of the Tompkins County Legislature, was asked by a reporter, why, if Tompkins County Council of Governments is sponsoring this forum, why wasn’t someone from the gas industry invited? All of the towns in Tompkins County have a ban or moratorium in place, save for Groton which will be considering a moratorium presently. We have moved on.
30:24A big part of the evening was to collect comments on the regs from those attending. It is easier that you may know. What is our purpose in making comments? Not everyone is inclined to go over with a fine toothed comb. But what about how we each would be impacted by these regs? What does a 500 foot set-back mean to you? Sandra Steingraber explains how to use the new website thirtydaysoffrackingregs.com, which is kind of fun too, like an advent calendar.
25:36Helen Slottje, Esq., Community Environmental Defense Council, lays out the circumstance, and all that is legally questionable and actionable against DEC’s attempt to push through regulations ahead of completion of SEQRA, specifically, DEC is violating its own stated obligations under the State Administrative Procedure Act (SAPA). Her presentation is a true gem.
8:33
In late November of 2012, the DEC issued new proposed regulations for shale gas drilling in New York, with a 30-day public comment period. The start date for comments was December 12, and the deadline is 5:00 pm on January 11, 2013. The new regulations can be found at the DEC website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/77353.html
It is very important that the public speak up about these proposed drilling regulations. Last fall there were some 66,000 public comments on the dSGEIS –the environmental review–but only 650 comments on the regulations. The speakers suggested three very different ways of responding to the DEC. (insert quotations here).
This is our chance to focus on the regulations, and we hope many people will write to the DEC,” says Robertson.
Topics covered by the panelists included:
• Why the new proposed regulations are important.
• What issues the proposed regulations cover and what issues they ignore.
• How citizens, interest groups, and municipalities can frame their concerns most effectively in feedback to the DEC.
The new regulations can be found at the DEC website at http://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/77353.html and comments can be submitted at http://www.dec.ny.gov/energy/76838.html
Thirty days of franking Regs http://www.thirtydaysoffrackingregs.com/ provides an easy, accessible and fun way for citizen’s to send in their comments. The site is set up like an Advent calendar, with a new section from the proposed regulation appearing each new day, together with background information an a submission form.
