Ban Horizontal High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing in the Town of Hartwick

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

New York's Environmental Conservation Law, which protects water resources for specific areas, should be expanded to cover the whole state and thus prevent the possible pollution of all current and potential water supplies. The highest and best use of New York's water resources is for human consumption and for the benefit of all of the state's flora and fauna. It should not be compromised, polluted, or commodified. Hartwick should join the other municipalities of Otsego County who have already taken proactive, protective measures.

Why is this important?

Getting the Town of Hartwick to institute a ban on the practice of Hydraulic Fracturing for Natural Gas and to prevent the possibility of being a disposal site for "produced" water.
