We, the undersigned residents and landowners of the Town of
Enfield, urge the Town Board to ban gas extraction using high-
volume, slickwater, hydraulic fracturing in the Town of Enfield.
The methods used and the intensity of industrial development
threaten our clean air, clean water, soil, rural landscapes, and
health, as well as our social and economic well-being."
