We live here because of our clean environment, beautiful landscape and rich agriculture. Hydrofracking could cause us to lose all of that while gas companies take the profits out of our town and out of state. This short sighted profiteering should not be allowed to ruin our environment for future generations.

Thank you for considering our children and not allowing hydrofracking in Groton.

My neighbors have leases but I do not. That will not restrict drilling under my land. I am concerned that fracking fluids contain unknown chemicals. My water could be polluted during the fracking process and I may never be able to prove it because the corporation has been granted the right to restrict such information.
Leave our gas and oil underground - GO SOLAR!

So sure NYS would strike them down I opened an agricultural business on the property and now we are very concerned.We want out of our lease, period.

Yes they will be able to buy new equipment but if there are no crops or animals due to contaminated water then what is the sense of new equipment. Also they say they are going to make it more public what is being used in drilling and make it more safe. Do they think just because they are making it more know what chemicals they are using is going to make it safer and put people at ease? Don't quite think so!

The noise, commotion, and potential pollution brought in by heavy industry will ruin the ambiance of the location. Hydro-fracking is clearly not an appropriate business to be located within the Village on lots adjacent to people’s homes. If necessary, the activity should be restricted to rural areas where it will not affect residents’ daily lives.
