<p>Date: ___________________ </p> <p>Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo<br /> New York State Governor<br /> The Capitol<br /> Albany, NY 12224<br /> </p> <p>Dear Governor Cuomo:</p> <p>My name is _________ and I live at _______________ .</p> <p>I write today because _______________.<p> <p>With those concerns in mind, I respectfully request that you require your Department of Environmental Conservation to issue a Supplemental Findings Statement to revise its definition of high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) to prohibit all forms of shale fracking in New York, not just HVHF based on <b>"300,000 or more gallons of water."</b></p> <p>This is critically important because DEC received a gas well permit application on April 24, 2015 to frack Marcellus shale using "gelled" propane instead of water in Tioga County.</p> <p>Your administration clearly knew that its HVHF definition was inadequate to implement the No-Action decision in the Findings Statement issued on June 29, 2015.</p> <p>Given that shortcoming, I request that you take immediate action to fulfill the shale fracking prohibition specified in the Findings Statement:</p> <p>"Based on unavoidable adverse environmental impacts and uncertainty regarding the science surrounding high-volume hydraulic fracturing and its potential impacts to public health and the environment, the Department finds that the best course of action is to select the No Action alternative. <u>Selection of the No Action alternative means that the Department will not establish a high-volume hydraulic fracturing permitting program; that no individual or site-specific permit applications for wells using high-volume hydraulic fracturing will be processed; and that high-volume hydraulic fracturing will be prohibited in New York State</u> (emphasis added)."</p> <p>I am one of more than 1,450 signatories to a coalition letter which details my concerns more fully.</p> <p>See: <a href="http://www.toxicstargeting.com/MarcellusShale/letters/2015/9/24/coalition-letter-supplemental-findings-statement" target="_blank_"><b>Coalition Letter requests that NYSDEC issue a Supplemental Findings Statement to prohibit all types of High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing</p> <p>I trust that you will find my request self-explanatory, but please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.</p> <p>Thank you for your consideration.</p> <p>Yours truly,</p> <p>Name: _______________</p> <pre>cc: Honorable Basil Seggos<br /> Honorable Howard Zucker, M.D.</pre>
