Subject: Full disclosure
Folks,
I am still undecided on the total acceptability and propriety of the fracking process, future information may
deem it basically harmless to highly dangerous and a serious mistake, but in any case disclosure of who, when,
where, and how fracking takes placeis absolutely necessary. We in Montana are not prone to allowing secret
activity and this is no place to start. The subsurface is a joint estate in which no single party has the right to
secretively dump unknown materials, especially when they are clearly intended to NOT be contained.
Disclosure can never be bad in my opinion, and is absolutely necessary to the extent of tracking participants and
delegating responsibility. And, what is the need for secrecy by the participants except to avoid responsibility?
Best regards.
