To Whom It May Concern:
Board of Oil and Gas Conservation:
I am very concerned about ground water pollution caused by using hydraulic fracturing to
extract oil and gas. Please adopt rules which provide easily available public access to the
toxic chemicals used in fracking. Our clean and healthy water quality depends on this. We
need to know in ADVANCE so that landowners within a mile where fracking might occur, can
begin baseline water testing.
Companies must apply to the Board of Oil and Gas and provide written justification available
to the public for any trade secret exemptions for these toxic chemicals. Even if listed as a
secret, it still must be disclosed!
Sincerely,
Suzanna McDougal
