Maura Stephens: Stop the Disinfo: New York Does NOT Have a Ban on Fracking
http://maurastephens.blogspot.com/2015/07/stop-disinfo-new-york-does-not-have-ban_14.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Stop the Disinfo: New York Does NOT Have a Ban on Fracking. I would like to correct a serious error that, in its regular. Repeating these days, is doing a lot of harm. I keep. Hearing about New York's "fracking ban.". New York did not “officially ban hydrofracking [sic],”. As I just read in a nice newsletter about sustainability. Nor did “the State DEC [issue] the final document needed to ban it.”. First of all, the term “fracking”. The Coalition to Protect New York and allied gra...

The Marcellus Effect: More Gas Wells = More Hospital Visits
http://marcelluseffect.blogspot.com/2015/07/more-gas-wells-more-hospital-visits_19.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. More Gas Wells = More Hospital Visits. Bradford County, PA. Out of the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine shows that people who live near hydraulically fractured wells end up in the hospital more than people who don't live near wells. The biggest difference was found in hospitalizations for heart conditions and neurological illness. Where there was a well density greater than 0.79 wells/square kilometer, residents experienced a 27% increase in cardiology...While...

The Marcellus Effect: March 2014
http://marcelluseffect.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Resources on Shale Gas. Go to any forum on shale gas drilling and you'll hear it. NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's said it. Pro-drilling advocates say it. Pro-health and environment advocates say it. Show me the science about drilling! Now, thanks to a couple of databases, you can do just that. Physicians Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy have compiled a database of peer-reviewed articles on Shale Gas and Tight Oil Development. Thanks to Ellen Harrison and the folks at Fleased.

The Marcellus Effect: May 2015
http://marcelluseffect.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Wading into the final SGEIS. Active Marcellus well, Bradford County, PA. Nearly two weeks ago, the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) released their Final SGEIS. Weighing in at 2,000 pages – about 20 pounds – this report lays the groundwork for what many believe will be a statewide ban on high volume hydraulic fracturing. What’s different about the Final SGEIS, besides its heft, is the amount of effort that DEC put in to gather comments from medical and p...

Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Jury Awards $3 Million in Fracking Nuisance Case. Yesterday, a six-member jury in Dallas County awarded Robert and Lisa Parr close to $3 million in their case against Aruba Petroleum. The case, filed in March 2010, claimed that Aruba Petroleum "intentionally created a private nuisance" in drilling and fracking 21 gas wells near their home in Wise County. By Texas Oil and Gas Accountability Project and a more recent article here. Of course, the oil and gas company has already sa...

The Marcellus Effect: September 2014
http://marcelluseffect.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 5, 2014. The Real Cost of Fracking. Earlier this week I had the pleasure of talking with Michelle Bamberger, a veterinarian and co-writer of the newly-published book, The Real Cost of Fracking. The Real Cost of Fracking: How America’s shale gas boom is threatening out families, pets, and food. Is a collection of case studies from Pennsylvania – families and farmers who have seen their animals and children suffer, watched their homes and land lose value, seen their retirement dream...

The Marcellus Effect: March 2015
http://marcelluseffect.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Post Frack-Ban Impacts on New York's Water Resources. Three months ago, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a ban on high-volume hydraulic fracturing in the state of New York. So – at least for now - contamination from active drilling is off the table. But there are other ways that hydrofracking puts New York’s water resources at risk. Water monitoring in Tioga Co. NY. Chemung County Landfill and nearby River (google earth). She noted that already 460,000 tons of solid fracking was...

The Marcellus Effect: Final SGEIS Released ...
http://marcelluseffect.blogspot.com/2015/05/final-sgeis-released.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. Final SGEIS Released . But getting to the NY State Dept. of Environmental Conservation website to read it might be difficult. Apparently traffic is heavy and the site is overwhelmed. The SGEIS review generated over 260,000 comments. Issued in December in which the Dept. of Health concluded that High-Volume Hydraulic Fracturing "should not proceed in New York.". Here is Wednesday's press release:. The FSGEIS incorporates the State Health Department Public Health Review report issue...
