Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is hosting four public information meetings on the proposed study of the relationship between hydraulic fracturing and its potential impacts on drinking water. Hydraulic fracturing is a process that drills vertical and horizontal cracks underground that help withdraw gas or oil from coalbeds, shale and other geological formations. By pumping fracturing fluids (water and chemical additives) and sands into rock formations, fractures are created in the formation from which natural gas or oil can be more easily extracted. The meetings will provide public information about the proposed study scope and design. EPA will solicit public comments on the draft study plan. 3 sessions – 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Description : SavetheWaterTable.org is holding a meeting to get serious. Time to do the mechanics of forming an organization – brainstorm, research, communicate, strategize, act! The organization’s dual and simultaneous focus is equally on information dissemination and education as it is action and code reform. NOW is the time to get down to brass tacks, determine the next steps and mobilize into action in the form of motivated committees. Come and join us! Save the Water Table! This is NOT A PUBLIC MEETING. It is for members interested in forming and managing an organization. We will hold organized public Q&A informational meetings in the future.
