Action Update
Greetings,
There has been massive local, statewide and national press coverage
ofNew York City's call for rescinding the draft Supplemental
GenericEnvironmental Impact Statement.
http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20091223/NEWS01/912230373/New+York+City+says+Catskill+gas+drilling+risks+are+too+great
Things are moving very fast.
Please immediately contact Judith Enck, U. S. EnvironmentalProtection
Agency Region 2 Administrator, to request that EPA urgeGovernor

Horizontal Hydrofracking.
Email: [email protected]
Phone 212 637 5000
Intensify your efforts to gain coalition letter signatories and
pushGovernor Paterson, Congressional Reps Hinchey and Arcuri to
supportwithdrawal of the dSGEIS.

Greetings,
In a development of stupendous importance, New York City today"called
on DEC to rescind the draft Supplemental GenericEnvironmental Impact
Statement (dSGEIS) that was released on September30, 2009 because it
does not adequately address the risks of drilling inthe New York City
watershed, which supplies drinking water for ninemillion New Yorkers."
Seehttp://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/press_releases/09-15pr.shtml
Bringing the full force of New York City's political leadership tobear
on Governor Paterson will dramatically increase the likelihood
ofwithdrawing the dSGEIS and sending it back to the drawing board.
I implore each and every one of you to take time during the holidaysto
find more signatories and email/phone and fax GovernorPaterson.
SPARE NO EFFORT. POUR IT ON. ONLY EIGHT DAYS TO GO. THANKS FOR YOUR
HELP.
Please note that Congressional Representatives Hinchey and Arcuri
stillhave not signed the coalition letter.

Happy Holidays.
