Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer, joined by a coalition of elected officials and hundreds of environmental advocates and concerned citizens, held a rally to Kill the Drill ahead of a State Department of Environmental Conservation hearing on November 10, 2009. This hearing at Stuyvesant High School was the only one of its kind to be held in New York City on the topic of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale, a rock formation stretching across the Southern Tier of New York State.
We are in the midst of a public comment period ending December 31 on the draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS), which will govern the use of hydraulic fracturing in the Catskill/Delaware watershed, which supplies 90 percent of the City's drinking water.

Watch Split Estate to see why letting these companies drill in your backyard is a very bad idea.
