Dear Members.
As a farmer and former Pharmacist, I am asking that you adopt rules that require the public to have access to the
names of the toxic chemicals used in fracking. Our farm has a private water system and we absolutely have to know
what chemicals are being used in fracking if a gas or oil well were to be drilled on our property or the neighbor's property.
People have the right to know what chemicals are in the drugs that are being prescribed for them and yet the companies
that developed these drugs have a right to patent these for a certain period thus protecting their investment. This would
also extend to the company developing these fracking chemicals to have a patent of the making and selling of these
chemicals.
However, the people who may have their water contaminated, must know just what the chemicals are being used by the
O & G drillers if they are to avoid damage to human or even animal health.
Thanks for your time,
Arlo Skari
