Subject: Fracking with toxic chemicals
Attention Board of Oil And Gas Conservation:
The process of fracking is placing many Montanans in serious danger.
We need rules enacted that will allow landowners within a one mile radius of any well that is being proposed
for fracking, the opportunity to know exactly what toxic chemicals will be used, and what precautions, if any,
they can take to protect the quality of their water supply.
There should be no exemptions for revealing which toxic chemicals will be used in the fracking process, even
though they may be "trade secrets". The health and welfare of Montanans outweighs any "trade secrets"
argument.
Please do all you can to implement the necessary rules to protect us.
