Inadequate Regulation and Safety Measures?

Please leave a comment about your feelings on the fact that the gas companies are exempted from the Clean Water Act.

Pennsylvania has that covered, but NY is still behind the the eight-ball on this one. The industry is mealy-mouthed about it. They contend that they have to reveal what chemicals they use, but they are not giving them in their entirety, and none of it is made public. 

What’s frequently told to the DEC is the kind of chemical, or generic names, but not the specifics. This is done to conceal what is really going on. Why on earth would anyone trust these people?
