Subject: hydraulic fracturing chemicals used in Montana
I am writing in support of mandatory disclosure of the composition of hydraulic fracturing chemicals by gas companies.
Gas companies do place gas wells near housing and ranching. It would be possible to test the water before fracking
began and after, if well contamination was suspected, if one knew what chemicals to test for.
I am a supporter of businesses in Montana, but not at the expense of our citizens. It should be possible to protect our
citizens and still make use of our natural resources. Fracking chemical disclosure is an issue of public health and safety.
