Dear Board of Oil and Gas Conservation Members,
Please insure that companies that will be engaging in hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas in Montana are made
to disclose the contents of the liquids used in their process to the Montana public. We as citizens have the right
to know BEFORE a well is fracked what will be pumped into the ground. If their are potentially toxic chemicals
in the mix landowners need this information before they make a decision to allow fracking on their property.
You should publish these ingerients on your website where it would be easily accessible to the citizens of
Montana. If companies request an exemption to disclosure of their process ingredients you should only grant
exemptions under rare circumstances. Even when ingredients are listed as trade secrets they need to be
disclosed to you- the Board of Oil and Gas.
Thank you for receiving my comments,
Laura Strong
