Subject: Fracking <strong>and</strong> Related Chemical Disclosure<br />
I am writing to ask the <strong>Board</strong> to implement the following suggestions in order to make full disclosure <strong>of</strong><br />
fracking chemicals easily accessible to the public:<br />
• The chemical information for any fracturing fluids used needs to be easily accessible by the public on<br />
the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Gas</strong>’ website.<br />
• These chemicals need to be disclosed in advance in order for l<strong>and</strong>owners in areas such as Sweet Grass<br />
County to begin baseline water testing. All l<strong>and</strong>owners with water wells <strong>and</strong> springs within a 1 mile<br />
radius <strong>of</strong> the proposed well to be fracked, must receive written notification <strong>of</strong> the planned chemicals<br />
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<br />
available to the public for any trade secret exemptions. Exemptions should only be granted in<br />
extremely rare circumstances. Even if the chemical is listed as a trade secret, it still must be disclosed<br />
to the <strong>Board</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Gas</strong>.<br />
Our health should not be threatened by unidentified chemicals; only full disclosure easily accessible on your<br />
web site would give the public peace <strong>of</strong> mind.<br />
Thank you.<br />
