Fracking
 

 

Dear Sir/Madame,

Please accept my comments against fracking and my request that you do everything possible to protect our water supply from it.  It scares me that apparently no one, other than the industry, really knows what is in the fracking fluids.  It scares me that in those cases where law suits have resulted that "gag" agreements are put in place to keep others from knowing what has happened to their neighbors.  I concerns me that our entire way of life in the Taylorsville Basin is surrounded by water related issues....whether you rely on ground water or make your living from the rivers and bay.  Please put in place the most restrictive regulations possible.  Once the damage is done it will be nearly impossible to fix it!  The possible risk to all of us does not justify the possibly financial benefit to the few.  Thank you for your time and consideration.
