Dimock, PA residents, whose wells were contaminated by Cabot Oil & Gas’s fracking operations, will receive some relief today when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) delivers clean water to four of the eleven families that have been victims of irresponsible fracking. These families have gone without a reliable source of water since November 30, when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) allowed Cabot to stop its weekly shipments of fresh water. Since then, Riverkeeper has featured a counter on our website documenting the months, days, hours, and seconds PA DEP and Cabot have denied families the basic human right of clean water (a count we will continue until these families have a long-term solution).
EPA is still collecting data in Dimock, and we hope that EPA will decide soon to deliver water to all of the affected residents.
The victory today in Dimock reminds us of why it is so important for New York not to rush to permit fracking. Even though the comment period on New York’s fracking proposal is over, you can still take action.
Call Governor Cuomo today - (518) 474-8390 - and tell him that you don’t want what has happened in Dimock to happen here.
Then, commit to calling him every Friday to tell him you don’t want anyone to frack with your New York water.
The day will start with a rally in the Legislative Office Building and will be followed by legislative visits. Come join us on this exciting day to bring your voice to Albany and express your concerns about hydro-fracking.

The rally begins at 11:00am in the "Well" of the Legislative Office Building in Albany.

Hydro Fracking Petition!
The Federation and the North Eastern Council is committed to protecting our environment for all to use, the way it was intended for generations to come. We are concerned with the hydro fracking being proposed in the Marcellus Shale areas of New York State and the possible effect that we will be forced to endure for generations.
Please read and consider signing Walter Hang's, Toxic Targeting (anti gas drilling) petition. This is your way to tell governor Cuomo, that the DEC's Marcellus Shale Revised Draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (RD SGEIS), is hopelessly flawed.
It's a powerful letter and a worthy petition.

We posted a show a few weeks ago on how to stock your dry-fly box. We had a lot of requests for the same for nymphs. What do you think of Tom's list? Did we miss any?
