EPA’s study of the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources.
November 10, 2012
Greetings,
This is an update on EPA’s study of the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources.
In today’s Federal Register , EPA announced it is accepting information through April 30, 2013, including data, studies, scientific analyses and other pertinent scientific information related to the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources.
This information will help to ensure EPA is current on evolving hydraulic fracturing practices and technologies as well as inform current and future research and ensure a robust record of scientific information
Consistent with the Agency’s commitment to using the highest quality information in its scientific assessments, EPA prefers that people submit information that has been peer reviewed. EPA will consider all submissions, but will give preference to peer reviewed data and literature sources.
There are several ways to submit information to the docket for this request. Be sure to include the docket identification number Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-2010-0674 on every submission.
For more information about EPA dockets visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets/.

Thank you for your interest in EPA’s study of hydraulic fracturing and its potential impacts on drinking water resources.

Marcellus Shale Documentary Project–Pittsburgh Filmmakers Galleries
November 9, 2012
I make it a point to get the word out for events. Sorry this is
getting out on the late side but this show is up until January 6 2013
and has a compelling list of participating photographers. Next Weds,
Nov 14, at 6:00pm, Brian Cohen Martha Rial will give an artist talk in
the gallery. I included a few links to give you a better idea of the
nature and importance of the work. Working on a documentary myself
about those involved in this issue, I find it evident that where there
is a huge gap in essential media coverage. The arts (in this case
photography) take a leading role to inform and educate with deep
social commentary. Where regulatory systems and protections from
government fail, the citizens not only fall victim, but they
themselves must find ways to protect themselves. Through the eyes of
these remarkable photographers you will see images that can help us
see what is hardley imaginable unless you, yourself have fallen
victim.
all my best,
Dave

October 11, 2012 to January 6, 2013
The exhibition, curated by Laura Domencic, director of Pittsburgh
Center for the Arts (PCA) features more than 50 photographic images
which tell the personal stories of Pennsylvanians affected by the
Marcellus Shale gas industry. By creating a visual document of the
environmental, social and economic impact of the drilling, the
compelling images not only provide historical artifacts, but can be a
catalyst for discussion.

Study of the the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic
Fracturing on Drinking Water Resources:
Overview for Roundtable Meetings
The EPA Study is due to report, at end 2012, status of the study with a final (draft) report in 2014.
What is here (in PDF) is the current activities that presumably will lead directly to the 2012 interim report.
This all is important re the rdSGEIS and draft Regulations for HVHZHF in Shale in NYS;
That is, one could well assert that NYS ought wait until the final EPA report in 2014 – timing that would coincide nicely with the likely settlement of the appeals of the Dryden/Middlefield “Home Rule” litigation.
It seems to me unlikely that the Cuomo administaration would want to move ahead with Dryden/Middlefield in limbo.
