Shale Drilling 3 Parks Dems
- 1. Marcellus Shale Drilling What does it mean to us?
- 2. New York City has Good, Clean Water
- 3. So does most of New York State…
- 4. But…
- 5. The water in our state is endangered…
- 6. By Gas Drilling
- 7. Where?
- 8. 29 New York State counties , including five that contribute most of the water in the NYC water supply . Source: http://www.catskillmountainkeeper.org/node/290
- 9. HOW?
- 10. A drilling technique called hydraulic fracturing , which uses huge amounts of fresh water and toxic chemicals to break the gas-containing shale, allowing the gas to rise to the surface to be collected in tanks. Source: www.dailyyonder.com/.../2009/11/13/2449
- 11. Step One Roughly 200 tanker trucks deliver water for the fracturing process. Source: http://www.pikrite.com/content/marcellus-shale-gas-drilling-water-truck-and-vacuum-tankers
- 12. Step Two A pumper truck injects a mix of sand, water and chemicals into the well.
- 13. Step Three Natural gas flows out of the well to storage tanks . Recovered water is stored in open pits , then taken to a treatment plant .
- 14. Step Four (trucking option) Natural gas is either trucked to a pipeline for delivery, or is connected directly to a feeder pipeline.
- 15. A Gas Drilling Rig in Amwell Township, PA, with feeder piping under construction in the foreground Source: http://www.marcellus-shale.us/ Step Four : Feeder Pipeline (preferred method)
- 16. IF ALL GOES WELL, WHICH DOESN’T ALWAYS HAPPEN…
- 17. Fred Mayer of Candor, N.Y., uses a charcoal grill lighter to ignite water running from his kitchen faucet. Source: http://www.toxicstargeting.com/sites/default/files/news_articles/pdfs/ignitable_water_articles.pdf Greenlar/AP
- 20. How Many Gas Wells Can We Expect to See in NY State? Estimates range from 40,000 to 80,000 wells Source: personal communication with Mr. Al Appleton, former NYC Commissioner of Environmental Protection 12/16/09
- 21. THINK ABOUT IT. JOIN THE THREE PARKS ANTI-FRACKING CAMPAIGN! Three Parks Independent Democrats http://www.threeparksdems.org

- … at least nine companies are trying to lock up leases to drill in the Marcellus Shale, which lies as much as 9,000 feet beneath the earth's surface under New York, Pennsylvania and the southern Appalachian states. In New York, extracting natural gas from the shale would involve deeper, more complicated wells than the state has previously licensed. Each of those wells, possibly numbering in the thousands , would suck up and later spit out as much as five million gallons of water in a process called horizontal hydraulic fracturing, placing an unprecedented burden on New York's watersheds, including those that feed New York City's reservoirs and farmland in Chemung, Tioga, Broome and Sullivan Counties. Roughly 200 tanker trucks would transport the water to each well. Downloaded 12/8/09 from http://www.propublica.org/special/hydraulic-fracturing
