PUBLIC HEARING
ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
SOUND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Supv Sumner opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. and dispensed with reading the
public notice that was published in The Ithaca Journal, Cl Leifer said this amendment will not
affect residential uses or activities at all. It is directed at industrial and commercial uses and
other activities that. would need a special use permit.
• Supv Sumner said this is an amendment to our current zoning ordinance: to limit
industrial noise. There are certain li.mitat.ions to what we can do in amending our current
zoning. She expects to have different standards when the new zoning law is passed in couple
of months. There are certain limitations to what: we can do at this time.

Dominic Frongillo of Cooperative Extension said the Town of Dryden is the lead on a
regional partnership in Tompkins County among six towns for energy education services. The
other involved towns are Lansing, Ulysses, Enfield, Newfield and Dantby. It is funded by
NYSERDA, the State Energy Authority and is for public education, social marketing for home
energy efficiency, and residents assistance in applying for NYSERDA programs or other
programs. The Town contracted with Cooperative Extension in October.

The original $54,000 grant has been leveraged by $20,000 in additional outside
• funding. Add to that the volunteer hours and the economic impact of using the lightbulbs that
were distributed results in a 5 to 1 leverage.
U Frongillo said this is all part of a strategy of starting to take economic development
back into our own hands and build resiliency as a community. Millions of dollars can be
saved in the town by making energy saving improvements such as insulating, appliance
upgrades, heating system upgrades and lighting upgrades. There are federal and state
incentives for doing these upgrades. 'There are three things needed in the town to accomplish
this: market demand, financing mechanisms (two local lenders are working on a fund), and a
skilled workforce.
For more information on this project visit: Lightenuptompkins.org or ccetompkins.org
Christopher Baurle said 1.1 years ago he was approached by NYSEG to build one of the
first energy efficient houses. It involved renovating and super insulating one of the first one -
room schoolhouses in the area. He offered a tour and said the total annual energy expense is
$853.00.
Supv Sumner closed the public hearing on sound performance standards at 7:30 p.m.
Community Garden - Jean Simmons said they had a great first year and thanked the
board for the opportunity to build the garden. She reported that they rented ten plots last year
and 1000 pounds of squash was given away to the Foodnet and other community
organizations. 23 plots have been rented so far this year. They have received a grant: for a
three sisters garden that involves elementary and college students. They are ordering new
fence. There are plots left to rent.
One of their projects this year will be an entryway. Future Eagle Scout: Ryan Thayer of
Troop 46 in Freeville explained that to become an eagle scout he must do a project that benefits
the community. He would like to build an entr ..way for the community garden with an arbor
and benches and a two -door exit. All materials will be donated or they will raise funds to buy
the materials. I-le provided a sketch that: was reviewed by board members.
Supv Sumner said that last year the board was slow to get enthusiastic; about
permanent structures because they weren't 100% sure the community garden project would
succeed, but all indications are that it will.
RESOLUTION #83 (2011) - AUTHORIZE COMMUNITY GARDEN ENTRANCE /EXIT
Supv Sumner offered the follow =ing resolution and asked for its adoption:
RESOLVED, that this Town Board hereby authorizes the construction of an entrance
and exit at the community garden plot.

Dryden residents. The
We, the undersigned residents of the Town of Dryden, believe that high
volume, shckwater hydrofracking for gas extraction threatens our water
and our air.
Allowing this practice in our community will significantly endanger our
health and well- being.
Hydrofracking is a heavily industrialized process that in surrounding
states has snarled traffic and caused significant air, water curd noise
pollution, and severe damage to roads and other infrastructure. In many
places it has had deleterious effects on tourism, hunting, fishing,
agriculture and the local economy in general.
We urge the Town Board to ban slickwater hydrofracking in the Town of
Dryden.
M McRae said the list of names has been checked and duplicates have been removed.
• She said "On behalf of all 1594 signers of this petition, we ask you to act on our request and
ban gas drilling in Dryden."
Christopher Baurle, Virgil Road, said every day we are faced with decisions. He is a
steward of the land and is very concerned about pollution. Etc is also a member of the Clean
Air Clean Water organization. Decisions were made with respect to the following that resulted
in disaster: Chernobyl, BP Oil spill, Katrina, Ford Pinto, and the Japanese nuclear meltdown.
Our very existence requires that we have a vigilance toward our environment. In Chernobyl
there were design flaws and technicians that couldn't handle the plant. In the BP oil spill there
was a blind eye to a regulatory situation. The blowout valve was not required, but is required
in other countries. Katrina. - a city was built below sea level. Ford Pinto - the manufacturer
would not correct car design tlavvs. In Japan they built 53 nuclear power plants on a seismic
fault: line. He has 245 acres and will not sign a gas lease. You will suffer consequences of a
poor decision and reap the benefits of good decision.
Buzz Levine said he carne to Dryden in 1968, served on the Planning Board for 20
years, was a land use planner for the county for tern years. He owns 90 acres and turned away
gas people many times in favor of protecting his land, its value and his quality of life. He has
travelled to Pennsylvania to learn what has been happening there. Individuals and whole
communities are suffering there. $350,000 houses are now valued at $30,000. He said the
lesson is that where gas drilling happens, problems follow. In Dryden this will have a greater
and more devastating effect; on the town than the combined effect of all the land use decisions
made during his 20 years of service on the Planning Board. Even though he has not signed a
lease, NYS law says his property may still be integrated into a drilling unit. He said the
solution is local and the last hope and real power is here in this room.
Dr William Klepack, Evergreen Street, said he is in favor of a ban, He has been
practicing family medicine for over 35 years. He is speaking as a private individual tonight. He

has experienced 3 -mile island, nuclear disposal problems of West: Valley, the TCE pollution of
• South Hill in Ithaca, and the radioactive and chemical leakages from the Cornell waste site at
the airport. Now there are headlines that rivers are being contaminated in Pennsylvania. He
said that no doctor can save you once you have a chemically related health condition. They
may even find it impossible to recognize the chemical link or render effective treatment. When
the stakes are very high, as with the public's health, risks cannot afford to be taken.
(Statement attached)
Hilary Lambert, Hanshaw Road, Executive Director of the Cayuga Lake Watershed
Network, an organization dedicated to educating about and protecting Cayuga Lake and its
tributaries, thanked those present for what they do on behalf of the lake.
Terezka Korinek, 378 'Thomas Road, shared what she learned about the impacts of
hydrofracking from Caroline Knapp and Carol French, who leased their land in Bradford
County, Pennsylvania. for hydrofracking. They say people in PA are guinea pigs for fracking.
They were appalled between what they were told and what actually happened. They were
exploited by the legal terms of their leases. Current issues they face include: water
contamination, wastewater sludge disposal on their organic soil, people feeling ill, sick
livestock, destroyed roads, rural landscaping transfonned into an industrial zone. They regret:
signing gas leases and were hard - pressed to think of anyone in their community who is happy
with the presence of the gas companies. She said given the general lack of transparency in the
industry, a drilling ban would serve everyone. Companies need to find safer ways of extracting
gas and communities need to focus on renewal energy independence.
Lois Goss (has lived on Ringwood Road since 1966) said if this resource is as valuable
as they say, there should be plenty of money to do it right. Companies should be willing to
post bonds and be open about what is actually bring used. They are not: being forthright.
They are building dorms to bring in workers instead of hiring local people. The benefits will not
outweigh the costs. She doesn't want to see our ground water and our way of life damaged. It
is tempting to go for short run dollars, but she is more concerned about long run.
Peter Davies, Snyder Hill Road, said a large number of people who responded to the
petition online also made comments. They don't: want water and air destroyed. In going door
to door he found almost universal support. He only had one person who did not sign. He
estimates 95% support for this effort. Even people who had signed leases explained how they
had been deceived. Now they realize what: will happen to their land if this is permitted. Gas
companies say that mistakes happen. There is another big spill in Bradford County polluting
the water supply. The people of Dryden ask for protection from this menace.
Martha Wilson, Ellis Hollow, went door to door with the petition and 85% of people
signed. This is a huge percentage of residents and voters. The industry clogs roads and
destroys them. Where there is fracking road accidents and industrial emergencies increase,
crime goes up, and retrofitting of water treatment: facilities is necessary. Fracking pollutes air
and causes short and long term disease to local residents. The industry drives up cost of
housing, consumables and gasoline. Gas leases cloud property titles and property values go
down. This drives the tax base down. Non - renewable resources don't benefit local population.
Joanne Cipolla- Dennis, 964 W Dryden Road, presented a video about a doctor who is
now suffering effects of gas drilling and respiratory diseases because of the highly toxic air. It
is one year since 1 l people were killed in the 13P disaster. That was a methane explosion which
is what is proposed here. She thanked the board for their dedication and service. This is an
exciting night here. When you learn what DRAC has learned over the last two years about
methane shale gas development, you'll see why they are adamant. about banning the industry,
There is no greater threat to New York State and America than methane shale gas
development. It is time for unity. Without that we will just be another casualty of this

industry. She thanked the board for being part of a very historical morrrent in Dryden and in
• New York State.
Simon St Laurent, 1259 Dryden Road, congratulated the board on its generally
excellent. handling of day to day administration in running a government, as well as on its
recent steps toward vastly improving broadband availability across the town, He said
"Unfortunately, while the Town does an excellent job on projects that maintain or improve; life
in the Town of Dryden, it also often fails in defending against threats that make such
improvements irrelevant. Powerful forces with unfortunate ideas keep showing up and
threatening to change Dryden for the worse. The Board's response to these proposals over the
past. few years has frequently been tepid, and at its strongest, delayed. The Board seems to
continually hope for the best, naively dreaming that accommodating these powerful people and
industries dire reputations, perhaps trimming around the edges of their bad ideas, will
somehow make things better. Meanwhile, residents in neighborhoods know ghat they take the
loss if things go wrong. Please take clear and decisive action to keep the worst from happening
while you research long term solutions. Please stop forgetting about the damage these players
have already wrought in their past endeavors. Please demonstrate to residents that the town is
on their side, not the side of whoever comes to town with dreams of making piles of money
here. Moving slowly on complex issues like Varna development and hydrofracking may seem
like a prudent option, but delays are gambling with our futures. We may not live in a
storybook paradise, but Dryden is worth defending. This land, these people, are worth
defending."
Henry Kramer, Ellis Hollow Road, questioned legal authority of Dryden Town Board to
consider the petition put before it this evening, He said he neither advocates fracking nor
opposes it. He is an attorney, and speaking for himself tonight. He said the drilling in New
York State is currently under consideration by state government. There is no indication that
• the state; will cede to local governments any power to override or impede whatever policy the
state may decide upon. He said he does not think New York State will allow hundreds of towns
throughout the state to adopt a patchwork quilt of various policies regarding energy. If Dryden
is among the first: to do so, you can expect to see the industry launch a major lawsuit to try
and overturn that decision on the basis of lack of authority. He recommend the board obtain
competent: legal counsel t:o determine whether it has the authority to act in relation to an
outright ban on drilling, lie added that the right place to raise this issue is in Albany.
(statement attached)
Bob Jacobson said he disagrees with the previous comments and hopes to focus on
local opinion of whether have jurisdiction or not. He has had an active veterinary practice in
Dryden since 1973. For five years their property in Virgil was leased to Chesapeake and he
lives downhill from an active drilling site. The clarnor, activity and storage ponds were
disturbing. After reading a lot of material and attending a three day conference at Cornell on
hydrofracking and other consultations, it seems clear that the health concerns are real and
that the unanswered questions are even greater than those already stated. Until the gas
companies stop secretive behaviors, he encourages a ban pending a long term better
understanding.
Todd Bittner, 533 Ringwood Road, Natural Areas Director for Cornell Plantations
speaking personally. The Pennsylvania spill event is in the headlines today on the anniversary
of the BP oil spill. He doesn't. want this to be Dryden's headline in the future. He is very proud
of his neighbors here tonight. The industry uses the terminology "clean up ". When you think
of natural areas, farms, wetlands, forests and streams, that is a misnomer. There is no such
thing as a cleanup after an event like that:. The damage lingers for generations. The problems
will persist. That is obvious damage. The less obvious damage is the cumulative loss of
ishabitat. He thanked the board for consideration of a fracking ban.

There is no guarantee that multinational
We must do everything we can to promote energy
The overall carbon footprint is worse than coal.
Greg Bostwick, Thomas Road, read a quote from a news stor-v written just. after 2:00
p.m. today: "We have the makings of an environmental disaster in northern Pennsylvania.
According to local Pennsylvania television station WNEP, a natural gas well blew out in the
middle of the night while crews were engaged in fracking activities. Bradford County's Director
of Public Safety said a Chesapeake well went out of control late Tuesday night. This means the
well blew near the surface spilling thousands of gallons of track fluid over containment walls,
through fields, personal property and farms, even where cattle continue to graze. DEP is
taking groundwater and stream samples to determine the extent of the spill. Officials said
fluids from the well have in fact: contaminated Towanda Creek which feeds into the
Susquehanna River. No injuries have been reported, but officials have evacuated the
surrounding area as a precaution. A major operation is undenvay to kill the well and stop the
flow, which as of 2:00 today was still uncontrolled.
Martha Fischer, Hunt Hill Road, thanked theboard for taking time with this subject. It
has been said that the State will probably sue the town for taking a. proactive approach. She
doesn't buy that argument. If we can figure out a way to state that we aren't: going to have
hydrofracking in our community in a way that makes it that the state can't come at us and
that the businesses can't: come at us, then we will be far ahead. She read the draft sDGEIS that
states this or that should happen. It is not: a strong document. She hopes next one will be
better. It all boils down to the water, and she is looking to the board to help.
Charles Geissler, Ellis Hollow Creek Road, said it opened his eyes as he passed
petitions. His street was supportive and all but one owner signed the petition. That person
stands to gain a lot of money (large property owner). He is troubled as a property owner by the
fact that the state has passed a law enabling the industry to go beyond the limits and take
other people's property. The state has failed to protect us. We are being threatened by people
who do not live here and an industry only concerned with the bottom line. We need to defend
ourselves and ban mining until we are sure that it is in the public and environmental interest.
Linda Levine, Ringwood Road, said she thought this would always be a beautiful place.
We have an obligation as a locality to protect what we all bought: into. People are dedicated to
quality of life and will speak with their expertise. This is a moment for courage. Is there a risk
in the town taking a stand? She is attending law school forums and she believes as long as we
are acting in good faith, we have little to risk if we take a stand. Another board can change
things, but at the moment this is not the time to bet the farm, but: to have vision and courage.
Mary Ann Sumner, Niemi Road, said she has 130 acres and thanked DRAC for raising
awareness of the dangers of gas drilling and thanked the board for working to protect the
community. She said corporate greed may be half of the problem. The other half is our
enormous demand for energy. Natural gas is second only to pet.roleum in supplying that
energy. One - third of natural gas used in the United States is used to heat homes and
businesses, one -third to generate electricity, and one -third in manufacturing. Most of us don't
have access to residential natural gas, but there's a good chance that everyone in the room is
using products that are manufactured with natural gas, including fertilizer, plastics and paper.
Helium is a by- product of natural gas production, and while that may not matter so much for
balloons it is a critical component of MRIs. She thanked Dominic Frongillo and Ann Rhodes for

thanked the board and
NYSERDA for

Helen Slottje, 33 Chase Lane, Ithaca, said she is an attorney with Community
Environmental Defense Council. She is working with DRAC and wants respond to the idea of
the town's authority. There is no guarantee there will be no suit. it is their opinion that if the
town prohibits high impact industrial uses that would include traffic generating uses and other
impacts that the gown has the right to control through its zoning, that: the Town would not run
afoul of preemption under ECL 230303. Towns reta-in their right to zoning, a basic and
fundamental police power of the town. A decision like this would be legally defensible.
Dean Russo, South Street Extension, said if our activism stops with signing a petition
and coming to this meeting, we've really missed the larger opportunity which is to encourage
the board to work with other towns in the county and remainder of the state, to continue to the
activism and address this issue at a higher level. We should encourage our representatives in
state and federal government to take action.
Bob Armstrong, Turkey Hill Road, said he attended a lecture at Cornell University given
by an industry representative who stated that the country has a. 50 year supply of conventional
gas excluding the Marcellus shale resources. He suggested there may be grounds for a
compromise,
Bci,ca Harper, of West Danby, said Fortuna gas company verified that to frack one well
one time is about 600 round trips for trucks. She can't image any of our roads handling that.
Nature will be completely changed simply by the trucks. The cumulative impacts should be
considered.
Dominic Frongillo, Caroline resident, said he was a member of the NYS Climate Action
Plan Development Committee. New York State has a plan to cut: carbon 80% by 2050. It is up
to the Governor to continue the process. If that is the case, the entire residential sector in 39
years would have to contribute zero Carbon dioxide. They are not including the life cycle
emissions of coal in taking that into account. He just came back from Powershift in
Washington, DC. 200 young people from Tompkins County attended the largest youth summit
for clean energy and climate change in the nation's history. Josh Fox talked to the NYS youth
delegation there and said the world is looking to New York State for what it is doing, and was
inspired by New York's moratorium.
Henry Kramer, said he doesn't make the law, but reports what it is. It doesn't mean he
likes it. The US Supreme Court has said, and it is still the law, that local governments are
creatures of the State. They are created by the state and have only authority that the state
expressly confers upon them. if there is a doubt about: authority, it is the board's
responsibility to find something in state law that enables them to act in a given area. There; is
a long line of United States Supreme Court cases and when it comes to economic issues, the
US Supreme Court favors statewide and national economic locks. They don't tend to favor
local options on what you can do in relation to Federal and State Law. Those problems have to
be overcome. You are talking here about a total ban, not the possibility of doing some
regulation that affects roads or the damage that might be done. 'That doesn't fit within a total
ban. A total ban raises issues that the energy companies can use in litigation to come after
you that: they could not: do if you were doing specific damage legislation.
C Baurle said he will not sell his mineral rights. I•Ie hopes we all continue to be vocal
and speak with our legislators. We need to look at alternative energy such as wind, solar,
thermal masses, or other solutions. It is a matter of wants vs needs. We need clean air, water,
and land management policies.

David Slottje, of Ithaca, an attorney with the Community Environmental Defense
Counsel said it is good to hear from physicians because we don't have to think too much to
filter what they say. Most lawyers have paying clients and when they tell you what: the law is,
you are within your rights as a lawyer to ask whether it is their personal opinion about what
the law is or is what their client needs the law to say. He agrees that you look to the United
States Supreme Court. l..00k too 1976 decision called Village of Belle Terre where the US
Supreme Court addressed the power of a NYS Town board to something like the petitioners
have asked. It said unequivocally that a NYS Town Board had authority to pass a zoning
ordinance like this. The highest court in New York State, the Court of Appeals, has also opined
several times on this.
Cl Leifer said he would like to introduce a resolution to have the town attorney complete
his review of proposed land use regulations and to work with him to draft a proposal to be
introduced and hold a public hearing on.
RESOLUTION #84 (2011 ) - TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING
REGULATIONS TO BAN HEAVY INDUSTRIAL METHANE GAS DRILLING
Cl Leifer offered the following resolution cu-id asked for its adoption:
WHEREAS, a great number of the citizens of the Town of Dryden has expressed concern
that the use of land within the Town of heavily industrialized methane gas drilling may bring
negative impacts to the community, including without limitation traffic congestion, air, water
and noise pollution, and severe damage to roads; and
WHEREAS, heavily industrialized methane gas drilling is a new type of land use in New
York, and the Town's current land use regulations were not specifically designed to address the
heavy industrial land uses and related facilities that are associated with such heavily
industrialized gas drilling; and
WHEREAS, other municipalities in our region, including the Towns of Ithaca and
Ulysses, are in the process of considering and evaluating the adoption of land use laws that
would prohibit the imposition of burdens, costs and negative impacts on citizens and property
owners that would likely otherwise result from such heavy industrial land uses; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Dryden is empowered under the New York
State Constitution, t:he Municipal Home Rule Law, the Statute of Local Governments and the
Town Lain to adopt local laws for the protection, safety, health and well -being of persons and
property within the Town, and to enact zoning regulations,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT:

necessary to consider adopting land use laws that address the valid planning, zoning, safety,
aesthetic and other community impacts that could othenvise result: from such heavy industrial
land uses; and

Melissa Bianconi presented the draft Recreation Master Plan. She said this document
provides guidance and framework for recreation decision -based making on public needs,
priorities and resource capabilities within the town. It provides a framework for her
department and for the Dryden Recreation Commission moving forward with their recreation
resource planning. It provides an accurate inventory of the existing recreational facilities and
open spaces located within the town. It identities the existing reports, studies and inventories
related to open space, recreation activities, facilities, and is supplemented with information
from public participation. It provides for an action plan comprised of goals, objectives,
recommendations and strategies to improve and enhance the recreation delivery system, the
maintenance and the upgrading of existing facilities, and development of new ones, and the
development of new varied programs.
M Bianconi said this has taken a long time to put this together. She is hoping the
board will determine a public comment period. It will be available in the Town Clerk's office
and on the website. She would like the board to adopt it as a guiding document for the
Recreation Department,
Supv Sumner said she is very happy with this product. Cl Stelick thanked Melissa

have submitted a petition. TG Miller have prepared a proposal to prepare a map, plan and
report at a cost not to exceed $10,500.00 plus expenses. That cost will be paid by the district. if
it is approved.

Varna moratorium - Cl beifer presented a resolution proposing a local law enacting a
nine -month moratorium on new development projects in the Varna area and reviewed it: for the
board. It provides that the Town Board may grant a variance for specific purposes. The intent
is to put a hold on larger development in the designated study area. He said the planning
process would be thwarted by applications for projects coming in. it is drafted as local law and
must be introduced, then go to the Country under 239(m) because it is a zoning matter. In the
meantime, the town can schedule a public hearing. Adjacent .municipalities must be notified.
There is an appeal provision. At:ty Perkins spent. two days researching and feels it is
sustainable, but must strictly follow local law adoption procedures.
There was discussion about the timing of accomplishing the adoption. Cl Makar
introduced the resolution, it was seconded by Cl heifer. Supv Sumner said she preferred to
have time to review it first. It is an action item not on the agenda. Cl Stelick said it is clear
that we are not voting for or against the law at this point, but simply to get it on the calendar.
Supv Sumner said the language must be substantially correct. Changes require another
hearing. Atty Perkins said it is a significant step and requires deliberation. Supv Sumner said
she would like to think it was considered by all and there was somewhat of an agreement
before a public hearing is scheduled. After discussion the resolution was withdrawzi. Supv
Sumner said if something changes radically in the development of things, she can call a special
meeting. Otherwise, it can be considered next month.
Town Clerk- B Avery previously provided board members with the 2011. tax collection
reconciliation and asked the board if there were any questions. `!'here were none. She said

collection is over, she will schedule that meeting.

choice by far is to forgo the big money lure
and instead protect my family's land, real
estate value and quality of life, the reasons we
came here to begin with.
For the last year and a half, I've been
spending several hours per day studying the
issues surrounding gas drilling. I've also
traveled to PA a number of times to learn
first hand what's been happening there.
Both individuals and whole communities are
sorely suffering there. $350,000 houses are
now valued at $30,000. In short, the lesson
from PA is, where gas drilling happens,
problems follow. And when those problems
follow, the gas companies become your worst
enemy — even the supposedly very best
companies. It's certain that here in Dryden,
this will have a far greater and more
devastating effect on our town than the
combined effect of all the land -use decisions
made during my 20 years of service on the
Planning Board.
Even though I've not leased, I'm not
ie protected. If drilling starts here, NYS law
says I'll almost certainly be compulsorily
integrated into a drilling unit. With nowhere
near meaningful protection coming from the
Federal or State level, I'm still searching for
that so far elusive protection. As is so often
the case, the solution is local. That's why I've
been working so hard on this drive and why
I'm here tonight.
Our last hope, and the real power, is right
here - -- IN THIS ROOM. Please don't let us
down.
Good evening
V
I am Doctor Bill Klepack.
I speak in favor of a ban on fracking. 1 would like to focus oil the relevant health issues.
1 have been practicing family medicine for over 35 years, over 20 years in Dryden and
have concurrently been in public health for 20 years
I have experienced three mile island, the nuclear waste disposal problems of West Malley,
the arsenic pollution of streams by mining waste; the TCE pollution of South Hill in
Ithaca. the radioactive and chemical leakages from the Cornell waste site at the airport.
and the health risks of the Japanese Reactor incident. Now we have this headline in this
morning's Ithaca Journal and a news report tonight about Chesapeake's spill oil ' thousands
of gallons of fracking fluid into a Pa stream. All these weren't supposed to happen.
Let's focus mainly on the chemical health risks. It i5 useful to use the metaphor of an
iceberg to get across the issues relating to chemicals. One tenth of the iceberg is visable
above the water. 90% of it is underwater. By peering down through the water we can see.
maybe l .) of it and know something about its shape. Of the remaining 60% we know
nothing.
• i
Regarding chemicals and their affect: on human health we know something about very
few of them m
, less about many more and nothing about the vast ajority. And what we
do know should cause us to be exceedingly cautious.
From what little we do know we know that tiny trace amounts of some of them can
disrupt our hormone systems, affect the reproduction of our adults devastate the
development of our fetuses, and affect the growth and development of children,. Some
will produce cancers. and others psychological /neurological diseases.
And we know that once the toxic genie is in our ground water, in our streams, in our
drinking water, and air that it is impossible to put it back in the bottle. And we have
learned that Dilution is no longer the solution to pollution.
We know that no dOct.or can save you once you have a chemically related health
cUndition. Thew may even find it impossible to recognize the chemical link or render
effective treatment,
We know accidents involving chemicals will happen. Fracking is a large scale industrial
operation' Systems like the ones i mentioned at the beginning of my remarks which were
designed to be safe have failed. Inevitably accidents happen. When the stakes are very
high, as with the public's health, risks cannot afford to be taken.
You are in a position of needing to balance many priorities. With regard to.-ac king you
are making a very important public health decision. 1 urge you to follow the example of
it } p } g , p
the Board of I-Iealth of TC and the `l'C legislature when they on more that one occasion
have gone on public record to say that the current concerns about the public's health do
not allow them to endorse slick grater, high volume hydrofracking.
It is prudent to ban a process when you cannot afford to take the risk. I urge you to ban
fracki ng.

I would like to touch on two aspects of tonight's topic. One is the argument that we all
appreciate the convenience of natural gas, and it is selfish of us to say, "Not in my back
yard. Let's get it from somewhere else." One answer to that is that there is no shortage
of natural gas at the present time, and many other places have already been turned into
industrial wastelands to produce it. A stewards of the planet, let's try not to let our
pristine locality follow that path, let's not put water, our most precious and irreplaceable
resource, at risk of contamination. Morever, there is not even any guarantee that the
multinational corporations who want to extract the gas from under us would not liquefy
it and sell it in some far comer of the earth.
Another argument is that we need "cleaner burning" gas as a bridge until non - carbon
energy sources can be developed to halt the process of global warming that is clearly
already upon us. I believe we must all do everything Nve can to promote energy
conservation and to urge our government to get serious about promoting investment in
wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, algal and other alternative power sources. That process
will be not seem as urgent if we are comfortably coasting along on natural gas, which — if
you believe recent research studies - is actually not "cleaner" at all, but has an overall
(cradle to grave) carbon footprint that is worse than coal.

April 20, 2011
My name is Martha `Filson, and I live in Ellis Hollow. My Husband and I went door-to-
door on the several roads around our home with the Petition which you have received. 85 percent
of the people we spoke to signed this petition. That is a huge percentage of residents, and voters,
all of whom oppose hydro - fracking in the Town of Dryden,
My Husband and I oppose hydro fracking in Dryden on the basis of the following facts:
• Everywhere there is hydro fracking, the roads are clogged with industrial traffic and
roads are destroyed.
• Everywhere there is (racking, road accidents and industrial emergencies increase. This
means local tax payers must pay for more equipment; training, emergency personnel, and
medical care facilities.
• When the fracking crews come in, crime goes up causing local tax payers to pay for more
law officers,_jail space, and court time.
• The polluted water and fluids produced by fracking require expansion and retrofitting of
water treatment facilities —at taxpayer expense.
• According to the EPA and the industry itself, fracking pollutes the air with dangerous and
deadly chemicals.
• According to public health researchers and doctors, this air pollution causes short and
long term diseases to local residents. The fracking industry always denies responsibility,
so local residents pay with taxes and their health.
• The population influx that comes with fracking drives up the costs of rental housing,
consumables, groceries and gasoline. Renters whose wages don't go up are forced out.
• Gas leases cloud property titles and create mortgage financing uncertainty. Residential
property values go down.
• Traditional sources of taxes like tourism, wine- making and farming are compromised.
• All of these factors drive local tax bases down,
• The so- called high paying jobs gig to traveling crews of people from out of state.
• Natural gas, a non - renewable resource, is taken from private owners whether they sign a
lease or not. The gas itself goes onto the international market with no guarantee we get to
use it. The profits from its sales go to Texas or multi- nationals who have no stake in
either our Town of even our Country.
• So far no government body whether federal, state, or local has demonstrated the
willingness or the ability to protect local residents from these problems.
• So far no government body has shown the will or the ability to tax the fi•acking
companies to compensate local residents for the costs which they have to bear.
Most researchers say fracking will cause a Boom then a Bust. From the perspectives of the
® 85 percent of your constituents that we talked to, there is no Boom, just Faust -Bust.
For all these reasons, the only effective way to deal with high intensity industrial activities
like fracking is to ban them. Please do so in the most legally effective way possible as soon as
possible.

This statement raises the issue of the legal authority of the Dryden Town
Board to consider the petition reportedly to be put before the Town of Dryden
Town Board on Wednesday, April 20. Please understand that I am neither
promoting or opposing fracking here. I am resident of Ellis Hollow in the Town of
Dryden. I am an attorney and counsel to the Tompkins County Republican
Party, but not speaking for the party tonight and only for myself.
If presented with such a petition, the first question the Board should ask is
"has the State given us any legal authority to enact a ban on drilling in Dryden ?"
Drilling in New York State is currently under consideration by the state
government as a statewide issue and there is no indication that the state will
cede to local governments any power to override or impede its decision either
way. Local governments in NY are "creatures of the state" and derive their
authority from statutory or legal enablement. They are limited governments with
limited powers. A ban would be a major expansion of authority. Town and
county governments should not set statewide energy development policy.
Therefore, before even considering such a petition, the Town Board should
seek legal advice and counsel to determine whether or not it has the authority
to act in relation to an outright ban on drilling. If there is no authority, to act
would be to exceed the Town's powers. Town Boards should not spend time
and resources on matters over which they have no legal authority.
Further, such a ban could discriminate between landowners in the Town.
Small landowners do not have leasable land and are not economically
disadvantaged by a ban while those with larger properties, primarily rural, would
lose the value of their economic and mineral rights. An outright ban might
arguably be eminent domain taking of mineral rights, requiring compensation.
Tompkins and Dryden have a bifurcated economy with many rich and
many poor and few middle income. Assuming NY approves tracking, with the
current economy, we owe it to our rural people to enable them to tap a new
source of wealth to enhance their lives. A ban would mean that not even
intelligent risk taking within a then state approved industry would be allowed.
The Town Board should not receive this petition until it has first determined
whether or not a ban is within its limited authority.
