NY Residents Against Drilling: New York Residents Against Drilling (NYRAD) is a grassroots network of local residents who are opposed to unconventional gas development in New York State. High volume hydraulic fracturing threatens our land, air, and water, jeopardizing the economic and physical health of our communities. Thousands of wells, many miles of pipelines, and large noisy compressor stations could turn our rural communities into giant industrial zones. Therefore, we are joining together to: educate ourselves and our neighbors about the long-term negative economic, environmental, health, and community impacts of gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing; advocate for legislation to safeguard our communities from these threats; encourage the development of alternative, green, sustainable energy sources; We believe that all people have a right to clean air and pure water, and that it is our duty to preserve and protect the natural, scenic, historic, and commercial assets of this beautiful state we live in, for ourselves and future generations. NYRAD.org

Gas Drilling Awareness for Cortland County: GDACC is a group of residents who are concerned about gas drilling and its potential impacts on our community, health and environment. Our goal is to educate ourselves and the community about gas drilling, and to promote a safe and clean environment. Gas Drilling Awareness for Cortland County

New Yorkers for Clean Water, Inc.: Our mission is to prevent hydraulic fracturing (Fracking) from occurring anywhere in NY State, both in the New York City Watershed and Upstate. New York State recently passed legislation prohibiting fracking in the NY City Watershed, but is considering allowing fracking in upstate New York, including in areas close to watersheds. Fracking has resulted in water supply contamination throughout the country. The chemicals used in the fracking process include known carcinogens. Building and running a filtration plant would add hundreds of dollars to water bills. It is not known whether filtering the water can remove the fracking chemicals. Once a water supply is contaminated it can not be reversed. nyforcleanwater.org
