Diligence and Caution Needed in Approach to Gas Drilling
We have an obligation to make sure we don’t create another
hazardous legacy like the toxic plume in Endicott. Before we rush in
too quickly, we need to proceed with diligence and caution on all
aspects of the environmental impacts of the drilling to ensure
long-term social, economic and environmental health for our region. We
applaud the Governor’s recent decisions in directing the
Department of Environmental Conservation( DEC) to prepare a new Generic
Environmental Impact Statement and it’s implied moratorium,
addressing the state’s glaring deficiencies and preparedness for
the massive scope of the anticipated drilling. There is still a
lot of work to be done to protect the health and safety of our
residents, safeguard the rights of our communities and get proper
compensation for the intrusion of the gas companies and the extraction
of our resources.
