Subject: fracking<br />
To whom it may concern:<br />
Chemical information for any fracturing fluids used needs to be easily accessible by the public on the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Gas</strong>’ website. With over<br />
500 chemicals used in this process, the public needs to be fully aware <strong>and</strong> informed about these chemicals <strong>and</strong> their potential effects on health<br />
<strong>and</strong> environment.<br />
These chemicals need to be disclosed in advance in order for l<strong>and</strong>owners in areas such as Garfield County, Colorado to begin baseline water<br />
testing. All l<strong>and</strong>owners with water wells <strong>and</strong> springs within a 1 mile radius <strong>of</strong> the proposed well to be fracked must receive written notification<br />
<strong>of</strong> the planned chemicals to be used.<br />
Companies should have to apply to the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Gas</strong> <strong>and</strong> provide a written justification available to the public for any trade secret<br />
exemptions. Exemptions should only be granted in extremely rare circumstances. Even if the chemical is listed as a trade secret, it still must be<br />
disclosed to the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Gas</strong>.<br />
Thank you for considering these comments,<br />
