Letter To The Editor: Be Careful What You Ask For
Published: August 22nd, 2012

Editor,

I live in Norwich on South Broad Street and find Norwich the best city I have ever lived in, with its wonderful people, many events, low crime, and the surrounding farms and woods. I have followed the hydrofracking issues with a great concern. As a retired Vice President of Science and Regulatory Affairs (16 years) for the Hoechst Celanese Agricultural Division, I have a few comments to make.

I really agree with last week’s letter in The Evening Sun by Peter Hudiburg, however, consider the following regulatory matters:

The Safe Drinking Water Act- Hydraulic fracturing exempt oil/gas operations are exempt from runoff regulation.

Emergency Planning and Community Right to know Act- Oil gas exploration/development exempt from reporting in the Toxic Release Inventory.

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act- Oil/gas field waste exempted from control.
