Bob Barkley is worried about the safety of his ball players. The Tunkhannock Little League President says a proposed silica sand transfer station is only about 500 yards from these baseball fields near the intersection of Route 92 and Route 6 in Tunkhannock Township. Silica sand is a material used during the hydraulic fracturing, or fracking process. Silica is known to be a cause of silacosis and a potential carcinogen. Theres still a lot of studies underway so theres not a lot known yet about how far, how much, but why take the risk with our kids? That question was brought before the Tunkhannock Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday night. Nothing is airtight. This stuff will find a way in somehow, some way. Whether its a trace on your shoes or whatever, it will find its way in there. Eileen Barziloski is a Tunkhannock business owner who suffers from asthma. Its not a pleasant thing to live with. Im not looking for sympathy for that. What Im trying to say is I dont want to subject a kid. This is their life. This is their future. I have the same concerns myself, but at the same token, they have met all the requirements. Veto Barziloski is the chairman of the Tunkhannock Township Board of Supervisors. He says unless the company breaks the rules, his hands are tied. Its not our place to disallow a business to come to the area especially without zoning. Representatives from D&I Silica released this statement: We engage with communities at the earliest possible stage when evaluating these concerns for prospective sites. We regularly attend community meetings and interact often with residents to reduce any possible concerns for potential risks and disturbance. The response didnt sit well with everyone. There are no regulations. We need them to protect us, so when something goes wrong, theres something set in place.

The expert witness from Chief Gathering, told the zoning board and a resident who asked the question if the unit would emit benzene, toluene, or formaldehyde, he said that the station will emit only methane. The woman also asked if the emissions would affect her childrens asthma problems, she was I dont believe it does. This sounded wrong considering the research Ive done on these facilities, so I did a file review (which the DEP wants to do away with) and sent the information to two experts. Heres what they told me in regards to the expert testimony of the Chief employee under oath: Matt Walker, Clean Air Council mwalker@cleanair.org These are some photos that Scott took at DEPs office the tables show that not only methane would be emitted from the facility. This was a lie. This facility would emit quite a bit less than a compressor station would (which also usually include dehydrators), but keep in mind that recent research shows that low-level exposure to VOCs can be more damaging than higher levels, and that all emissions from this type of equipment add up fast. This is one facility among many that already exist or are projected for the area. Wilma Subra SubraCom@aol.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilma_Subra I reviewed the information you provided. The permit limit allows VOC in the amount to 2 grams per bhp per hour. The overall permit limit for VOC (Volatile Organic Chemicals) in the permit is 10 tons per year. This is from the glycol dehydrators. The VOCs consist of benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, as well as a large number of other volatile compounds. The VOC emissions are described as total uncontrolled potential emissions rate of VOC must not exceed 10 tons/year. The statement that no benzene or toluene will be present in the emissions is not correct.

He’s just not crazy about the idea of another one. “We have runoff problems and trespassing problems already,” Baloga, of Lake Township, said. “It’s not gonna get any better, obviously, by doubling up.” The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) held a hearing, or public scoping session, in Lake-Lehman High School Thursday night to take public comment on the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline expansion project. Plans, still in their infancy, show new pipelines laid through Wyoming and Luzerne counties to carry natural gas harvested in Northeastern Pennsylvania to a main pipeline artery where it passes through Lancaster County. Atlantic Sunrise is being proposed by the company Williams, which also owns and operates the Transco. Portions of the Transco have been operating in Luzerne County for more than 50 years. The scoping session was part of a series of sessions throughout the region where the pipeline is to be laid. FERC will end its scoping period on Aug. 18 before publishing its draft environmental impact statement for the five-member commission to consider. There will be more opportunity for the public to comment, and a Williams employee at the meeting said certainly they will be considered; however, FERC recommends it is best to submit comments by mail or online at www.ferc.gov to make sure they each receive adequate attention. Before Williams workers can begin the $3 billion project, the company needs a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from FERC, at which point the company will have eminent domain authority to purchase property the federal government has approved. Williams has yet to formally apply for the certificate, but plans to do so in March next year. If all goes according to plan, the company aspires to turn on the pipeline July 1, 2017. Hundreds of comments already have been recorded in this process. Apart from two representatives from the Laborers Union of North America, the dozen or so speakers to take the stand didn’t speak kindly of the project, and jeers followed comments made by union spokesman Julio Palomo who said the project would be a boon for its members by putting them to work.

A natural gas company that is drilling in the area had been supplying the homes with fresh drinking water, but the company has stopped, saying the communitys well water is safe. So many people disagree, however, that fresh water supplies are now starting to come in from some unlikely sources. A water truck from the city of Binghamton, New York showed up on Carter Road in Dimock Monday to deliver water. The mayor of Binghamton heard about Cabot Oil and Gas stopping water deliveries and said he wanted to help, and thats not the only out-of-stater getting involved in this situation. Its certainly not the Binghamton city streets this crew is used to. A water truck from the city 33 miles to the north was making its way from home to home along Carter Road near Dimock delivering water. That is what Cabot Oil and Gas was doing up until last Wednesday when the the state DEP said it no longer had to deliver water to residents on the road. I used what we had sparingly. Were just at the bottom now. If it didnt come today, I was out of water, said Carter Road resident Ray Hubert. Binghamtons mayor, an environmental lawyer, said this is just one community helping a neighbor, but Carter Road has become a national symbol for environmental groups. People there have been in a dispute with Cabot for three years. They said drilling contaminated their wells. Cabot said it didnt. Cabot said it has done the work to make well water there safe. DEP doesnt want a drink, EPA doesnt want a drink. Nobody wants a drink of it but they say I can. Hows that make sense, huh? Hubert asked. Other municipalities in New York state also said they are considering sending water trucks to Dimock. There are environmental groups lining up too, to help the people there get their water. No doubt the people up there treat us better than my own neighbors, thats sad to say, said Carter Road resident Craig Sautner. The water truck came to the Sautners house too. Another one is coming Tuesday. Celebrities and politicians are sending that one from New York City. The Sautners are heading to be part of that media event in the Big Apple. Right now, New York state is considering lifting a ban on gas drilling. The New Yorkers, they havent had any problems yet. They realize whats going on here. They come down and want to help us. We appreciate it, said Julie Sautner. The Sierra Club paid for Binghamtons water delivery Monday to avoid any legal obstacles involved in one municipality delivering water to another. Some Carter Road residents think Dimock Township supervisors tried to obstruct that. Supervisors said they did not. At a packed meeting Monday night, the township supervisors voted unanimously to not request mutual aid for water delivery. Most people who spoke at the meeting were against having water delivered from other municipalities. It has nothing to do with us, we all have private wells in Dimock Township and we have nothing to do with where they get their water delivered. We all pay our taxes, said Lettie Ellis of DImock Township. The mayor of Binghamton was at the township meeting. After the meeting, he promised some residents to continue trying to help.

$Doug Shields at Stop the Frack Attack http://www.gdacoalition.org A video by Scott Cannon Stop the Frack Attack was the clear message sent by some 5,000 protesters at the first national demonstration against hydraulic fracturing held in front of the Capitol Building July 28. Under a blistering hot sun the fractivists, as they are known, from 30 states and Australia demanded an end to the new process for deep shale gas exploitation that harms public health, water, and air.
