<div>Commission Clerk:</div><div><br></div><div> I respectfully wish
to express my opposition to the nominations for the above-referenced
parcels in the vicinity of Salt Fork State Park. I have been fishing,
hiking, picnicking, boating and other activities at this State Park,
which I regard as the "gem" of our state park system. I oppose the
nominations submitted for hydraulic fracturing for the following
reasons:</div><div><br></div><div> -methane emissions which will contribute to climate change</div><div><br></div><div> -building of access roads and their environmental impact in the vicinity of the park<br></div><div><br></div><div> -water pollution</div><div><br></div><div>
-water withdrawal (each fracking well will have to take about a 1
million gallons of water/year). These will be drawn from the Muskingum
Watershed, which cannot tolerate this loss.</div><div><br></div><div> -flaring of natural gas</div><div><br></div><div>
-huge amounts of brine waste which will probably come to Washington
County (my home county), which already leads the state in volume of
brine waste injected.</div><div><br></div><div> I would urge the
Commission to seek the advice of scientific experts before approving
these nominations (I don't see any science experts in the current
Commission membership).<br></div><div> <br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="ydp351c5dc7yiv1701465272gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">George & Gwen Banziger; 740-434-5685; 740-434-3354 (mobile)</div></div></div></div>
