BILL NUMBER:S1201
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to suspend hydraulic fracturing; and providing for the
repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit the issuance of new gas and/or
oil permits for well drilling that involves hydraulic fracturing
(hydro fracking).
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
This bill would suspend, until June 1, 2012, the issuance of new
permits for the drilling of a well that would utilize the practice of
hydraulic fracturing for the purpose of stimulating natural gas or
oil in low permeability natural gas reservoirs such as the Marcellus
and Utica shale formations.
JUSTIFICATION:
The potential development of natural gas drilling in low permeability
natural gas reservoirs such as the Marcellus and Utica Shale
formations has led to robust debate regarding the safety of the
process and the protection of the environment.
Delaying the Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) ability

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

BILL NUMBER:S1201A
TITLE OF BILL: An act to suspend hydraulic fracturing; and providing
for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to prohibit the issuance of new
gas and/or oil permits for well drilling that involves hydraulic
fracturing (hydro fracking).
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would suspend, for one year, the
issuance of new permits for the drilling of a well that would utilize
the practice of hydraulic fracturing for the purpose of stimulating
natural gas or oil in low permeability natural gas reservoirs such as
the Marcellus and Utica shale formations.
JUSTIFICATION: The potential development of natural gas drilling in
low permeability natural gas reservoirs such as the Marcellus and
Utica Shale formations has led to robust debate regarding the safety
of the process and the protection of the environment. Delaying the
Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) ability to issue
permits for one year will provide the Legislature with additional time
to assess the true environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing. This
bill will also help ensure the Legislature has adequate time to review
DEC's Draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement
(DSGEIS) once it is produced and any other reports or analysis done on
the environmental and health impacts on effected communities.
