The DRBC hearing on June 1 will profoundly affect the outcome of the last 3 years of work to educate people about the hazards of fracking, and to prevent contamination of our water, air, and food sources in New York. What happens in NY will have repercussions across 34 states.

Please send another letter to the DRBC. by clicking on the link below. Please add ONE or two sentences to the given letter. It will help if you specifically tell the DRBC that you want Oquaga Lake to be protected from the danger of a spill caused by waste water trucks that should be prohibited from Oquaga Lake Road. Please tell them to protect the spring fed mountain lakes, such as Oquaga that are part of the "Special Protected Waters" of the Delaware Rive Basin from contamination caused by hydraulic fracking.

Then send this on to as many people as you can.

Please tell the DRBC that this water withdrawal must not be allowed until all the science is in:
