Not Another Gulf! Demand a Moratorium on Hydrofracking in New York!

State-wide Demonstrations for Hydrofracking Moratorium Tuesday, June 15, 2010 12:00 NOON NYS DEC Region 8 Demonstration: Region 8 Headquarters, 6274 Avon-Lima Rd. (Rtes. 5 and 20), Avon, NY 14414-9519 <!--break--> The New York State DEC is poised to issue permits for hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale by the end of this year! We need the State Legislature to pass the Englebright/Addabbo bill before June 21, the end of the legislative session, to provide a moratorium on hydrofracking permits until the EPA concludes its study of hydrofracking’s impacts on water quality and public health. We must come together NOW to prevent another disaster like the Gulf or Dimock, PA. On Tuesday, June 15 at 12:00 NOON, simultaneous demonstrations will take place at DEC regional offices around New York State in support of a moratorium, for protection of our neighbors and our watershed. ALL people and groups are urged to join this critical demonstration which could gain national media attention. For more about the demonstration in Region 8 (Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne and Yates counties), please contact Emily at 585-455-2167, emmaji@riseup.net or Margaret at mball2@u.rochester.edu . Demonstrations will take place at DEC Headquarters in Region 2 (NYC), Region 3 (New Paltz), Region 7 (Syracuse), Region 8 (Avon), and hopefully elsewhere. Contact us with questions about any region.
