In my Island they the construction over a gas pipe is occurring. no matter how many protests or meetings with oficcials it does no good to stop it. The officials support it. we are now forming camps of civil disobedience and ask your help. Us Puertoricans need the support of anyone who can help.

I was just noticing a correlation between the mass animal deaths as reported on the news recently and your gasland map of the shale basins and reports of contaminated water and land. I think this is something that requires further investigation. If these mass animal deaths are occurring because of natural gas suppliers and you can prove it it will help the cause of accountability greatly. Just thought it might be something to bring to everyone's attention. Thank you. Hope I am wrong... P.S. We have natural gas areas in western Nebraska. And I haven't heard anything about problems here yet, but bridgeport nebraska hasn't been able to use their water for decades for some reason and since moving to Nebraska my health has declined and doctors haven't been able to tell me what is wrong. The health problems started while living in Oshkosh Nebraska about 7 years ago. I don't know if the water is bad but while living there our water from the tap that comes from the city would hiss and gurgle. Might just want to check on the people in that area... Thanks again.

I live in Lockwood, CA which is a very small and rural Southern Monterey County, CA area (30 miles to the nearest city). Several Oil and Gas Drilling Companies are currently drilling in the Hames Valley, which is very near to our area. These companies are using Hydraulic Fracturing with chemicals and are applying to the Montery County Planning Dept for more permits to drill so-called exploratory and production wells in our unpolluted and pristine San Antonio and Hames Valleys. We have heard these companies are applying for approxiamtely 50 permits and are trying to obtain a lease sale on the surrounding 6,000 acres of BLM land. We are very concerned about our water, air quality, plant and wild life in the area. We are right over the mountain range from the Big Sur Coast, and the possibility of saline intrusion into our aquifer is a very real issue. Our group, HOLD - Halt Oil Lease Development and several other local environmental groups have appealed several of the permits, at a cost of $5,000 which is a huge sum of money for a small non-profilt group of local residents! Any help on how to stop this type of drilig before we lose our pure drinking water, clean air, and a beautiful place to live would be much appreciated.
