NYCkayaker Threat to NYC Drinking Water: Public Hearing on March 18th!

[HB]

Very important notice, great to share.

Threat to NYS water, not just nyc

I read this online:
****
This is CDOG's position.  Feel free to print it and hand it out:

CDOG's Position on Selective Protections by the State of New York:

CDOG opposes any New York State natural gas drilling legislation or agency
regulation that effectively provides separate and unequal environmental
protection, for different people, different counties, or different
watersheds within New York State. A gas extraction industry process that is
considered too environmentally unsafe to be used within a particular
watershed (e.g. New York City's) is not safe for use in any other watershed;
and therefore should not be permitted for use anywhere within this state.

CDOG is the short acronym for our tri-county Chenango Delaware Otsego Gas
Drilling Opposition Group
IMPORTANT****
To maintain a united movement to protect our STATE-WIDE resources and focus
on banning this destructive practice in the entire New York State watershed,
and not just a limited geographic area which would compromise the integrity
of our entire area.  And also nation-wide as this is dangerous to the nearby
Delaware Watershed already.
