Thank you for addressing methane pollution (RE: Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505 FRL-9929-75-OAR)

Dear Administrator McCarthy,

For too long, the oil and gas industry has been allowed to leak millions of tons of methane and other

toxic chemicals into the air. No one should have to fear that the air they are breathing might be a threat

to their health or the health of their loved ones. That's why I support a strong methane pollution

standard and want to thank the EPA for its work to meet President Obama's goal of reducing methane

pollution from oil and gas operations 40 to 45 percent by 2025.

While this proposal is an important and necessary first step, to meet that goal, the EPA must quickly

begin the process of addressing existing sources and requiring all companies--even those that are

already doing well--to regularly check for leaks.

Taking steps to cut these emissions makes sense for our health and for our planet, which is already

suffering from the impacts of climate change. The Methane Pollution Standard is a sensible, cost-

effective proposal to continue addressing the climate crisis and decrease health risks to our children and

families.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Nicholas White

Manchester, MA 01944-1514

I am a scientist who did pioneering research on tracking the carbon cycle in the 1970s in Oxford UK.

Methane is a particularly bad greenhouse gas, and it is leaking from wells all over the US in alarming

amounts. This can and must be remedied.

Joe Ratliff

Winnemucca, NV 89445-9445

As a retired federal scientist and air quality specialist, I have been aware for many years how much

methane gas and other air pollutants are discharged into the atmosphere from petroleum refineries and

fracking operations. This is an ongoing serious problem, especially now with the significant global

warming and weather problems which this practice escalates. The time is far overdue for congress and

the administration to rein in the petroleum industries by regulating such leaks and discharges!

Rose Chilcoat

Durango, CO 81302-2924

Living in the Four Corners Methane Hot Spot makes this personal to me and my family. It is imperative

EPA take strong action to curb methane losses.

Dashiell Dunkell

Santa Cruz, CA 95060-5909

As an environmental scientist, and engaged voter, I know how important this issue is.

Dottie Thomas

Wheeling, WV 26003-7761

Living in the heart of the Marcellus Shale area (northern panhandle of WV), I know how much the air

quality is affected by gas drilling. This industry emits tons of pollution while saying methane gas is

cleaner than coal. It's not cleaner when so much diesel fuel, etc. is burned in order to extract the gas. I

believe the fracking boom will be one of the biggest polluters and destroyers of clean air, water, and

soil.

A.J. Averett

Potsdam, NY 13676-0468

Living in the Northeast, "The Nation's Tailpipe," much, if not most, of the effluents generated in the

lower forty-eight states -- and the toxins and other pollutants they contain -- are channeled directly

toward us to breath, in addition to contaminating the soil that produces our food and the surface waters

used both for drinking and in agriculture. On top of that -- nationally -- is the STAGGERING volume of

fracking waste that contains both chemically toxic and radioactive materials that are routinely disposed

of in ways that contaminate potable water and soil, thus consumed directly, as well as entering the food

chain through agriculture. This is insanity incarnate.

Twila Moon

Big Sky, MT 59716-1607

As a climate scientist, I study the global impacts of increased greenhouse gases daily. I know from

personal experience how important it is for the US to take action on these items. I support strong

methane pollution standards!

Rev. Arica King

Denver, CO 80212-1952

When I was a scientist my work showed the complexity of our environment and a tremendous need to

care for what goes into it.

Barbara Gaston

Austin, TX 78746-7230

Living in a state where fracking activity is all around us, often I take a hike with family and I come home,

feeling wiped-out and little energy to do much for the rest of the day due to air pollution created by

fracking activities. I'm a healthy active person so I know that it's something in the environment that is

making me sick. Countless others feel the same and often spend sleepless nights due to the pollution in

the air. On an NPR program, it was said that uncaptured natural gas hit at a fracking site and allowed to

burn can emit as much pollution as an entire oil refinery puts out in a year! Please force these

companies to comply with cleaner measures so that the American public doesn't suffer the ill health

effects caused by unregulated burning of natural gas pollution. Thank you. Barbara Gaston,RN

Anita Mcinnis

Bellflower, CA 90706-1800

Thank you for curbing methane polution. I live less than two miles from an oil refinery. Certain times of

the year I have major health issues, because they ruin the air quality for miles in my area. I am hopeful

that this will ultimately improve the air quality, and for now, stop them from making it any worse. Thank

you, again, for standing up clean air and the environment.

Thank you for the hard work! Humanity needs your continued work in protecting our only inhabitable

planet. Please push hard to limit excess gas and other pollutants rapidly escaping into our atmosphere

and in our eco-systems as a bi-product of the already damaging oil and gas industry. Enough is enough.

We must protect this one and only planet! Thank you.

This world is so full of poisons in our air, waterways, land, and oceans. Fracking chemicals are deadly &

the companies aren't even required to tell us which ones they're using. I am sick of the greed and

complete disregard for human life. Disgusted with our government, disgusted with the corporations

who rule the world.

John Alexander

Salisbury, MD 21804-2480

While I recognize that fracking and other new technologies in drilling are allowing us to become more

energy-independent, the energy industry must be scrutinized and regulated to cut these emissions and

and eliminate the more undesirable consequences of these actions. More science-based regulations are

required and the government needs to enforce the regulations to the letter of the law.

June-July. Now these occur in September-November. Additionally our rainfall has increased

substantially. Please take action to help our climate .

Jeff Alguire

Durham, NC 27705-2028

There is no cost higher than losing our valuable air, water and arable land. I remember when George W

Bush loosened environmental protections, saying the economic climate was too fragile to require

companies to pollute less. That is backwards thinking and the same logic is applied today. Wake up and

do the right thing for the survival of our species and the planet.

Humans like all the species that belong to the Earth's Web of Life are susceptible to the dangers of

The science is clear - to have any chance to avoid the worst impacts of global warming, the world must

keep the vast majority of its remaining fossil fuels in the ground. Federal fossil fuels -- those that you

control -- and the fracking of existing wells across the country which are putting millions at risk -- are the

best places to start. Put people over short-term profits. We don't need more water use We don't need

more earthquakes We don't need our land poisoned by chemicals We don't need our groundwater

rendered unfit for drinking or growing crops We don't want pipes and railways tracking MORE carbon-

based energy sources to export We don't want our coasts dug up for more ports We don't want more

global warming We don't want our tax dollars used to clean up the mess We NEED to get this country

and others OFF its addiction to oil and gas and LEAD the world into a new era. Some people are

squawking about the cost? What cost? Do they realize the expense of cleaning up after major spills?

The medical costs and settlements that will come if you let this continue?? Solar energy is now

CHEAPER than fossil fuels in most areas if you remove the corporate welfare benefits Big Oil and Big

Coal have been rolling in for generations, and providing many multiples of stable career-oriented jobs

instead of the short term minimum wage labor the fossil fuel industry boasts about And a growing body

of research has linked fracking to increased air pollution, water contamination, negative effects on

public health, and induced seismicity. The current drought shows how much our economy is dependent

on a stable global climate. Neither California nor the rest of the world can afford the greenhouse gas

emissions that would come from expanding our in-state oil industry. To paraphrase Annie Leonard of

Greenpeace: "Fracking damages are never accidents. They are the direct result of substandard oversight

of fossil fuel companies who put their profits above human and environmental impacts." The country

MUST enforce the Polluter Pays principle on ALL companies doing business under federal jurisdiction

and MANDATE polluters pay for ALL their damages to the environment, to our homes and health, and

phase in a program whereby every entity using and/or transporting carbon fuels and toxic chemicals

across the country MUST post bonds to make any such judgements enforceable.

Lari Anderson

Annandale, VA 22003-2307

My belief is that the science that would support the safe use of "fracking" is not known and therefore

we should be hesitant to continue the process. More importantly, we continue to focus on fosil fuels

when we should be making more of an investment in clean energy which is the inevitable future,

regardless of potical or cultural facts.

We have the technology but lack the political will or the corporate responsibility. When the latter fails to

do what is right, the former MUST stand up for the environment and the people. All we the people are

asking is for you to do your job. If you take this action, we will cover your back, regardless of how much

stubbornness , money and pressure a reckless, greedy, unaccountable industry applies.

Jean Andrews

Santa Cruz, CA 95060-2505

Quite frankly, I think global warming is the world's most desperate problem! I worry that my

grandchildren may well see the collapse of the biosphere due to the HUGE impact of climate change.

We quite literally don't have time to sit around negotiating with big corporations! We, and the rest of

the life on earth, are biological beings with our biological requirements. Global warming may well be in

the beginnings of a snow-balling, run-away heating. In that case, the atmosphere will eventually

disappear and it won't be a pretty scene! It's way past time to start taking drastic action!

James Anton

It is time the politicians passed laws protecting citizens from the irresponsible activities of oil and gas.

Liability insurance coverage for property owners supplied by oil and gas before leasing agreements are

signed would be a right thing to do. It is election season...hold their feet to the fire. You get my vote

when you protect my back.

Lana Anton

Oak Harbor, WA 98277-3568

Why not get rid of all this unnecessary pollution to not only save MONEY, but time, and most

importantly peoples's lives. I personally support strict standards that primarily protect the environment

authority to enforce this, please use it for those who don't have the same privilege.

Karen Applebaum

Christopher Armerding

Oil and auto industries may want to stand in the way of such progress, but only because they are

resistant to change. Change is necessary and it can benefit them if they are just willing to set aside their

petty greed and be willing to do more for the environment. As such, I implore you to do what is

Carol Arvay

Auburn, CA 95602-2040

Clean air is vital to human life! When polluted air is what spews from oil and gas industry processes the

cost to human health care is magnified. We can live without gas and oil but not with polluted air and

water. Often these processes also harm water sources whether from extraction, refining, or waste

products of the same. Environmental high standards should be maintained and enforced with shutting

down sites.

Reba B.

Gainesville, FL 32606

Methane has a huge impact on the climate. Every year, the oil and gas industry loses almost 8 million

tons of methane, the primary constituent of natural gas, through unrepaired leaks and intentional

releases. This is equal to the amount of natural gas needed to heat 6.5 million U.S. homes--yet the loss

continues despite the availability of proven, low-cost solutions that could eliminate half of this pollution.

8 million tons of methane, the primary constituent of natural gas, through unrepaired leaks and

intentional releases.Compared with carbon-dioxide, methane's heat-trapping potential is 82 times

greater over a twenty year period. Smog-forming, toxic chemicals that leak from oil and gas sites along

with methane, endanger air quality endangering peoples health who live near by.Last month, the first-

ever proposal to curb methane pollution from the oil and gas industry was introduced. New

technologies that make it easier than ever to detect methane leaks. However,the oil and gas industry is

preparing an army of lobbyists and lawyers to oppose the rule..EPA you must support strong methane

pollution standards now to protect the environment, all living things including the planet.

Susan Balthasar

Time really IS getting desperate. Not only does the oil and gas industry lose methane but the warming

of the tundra is releasing methane that has been in a frozen "locker" for millenia. Beside your work on

so many other countries are taking action to reduce such devastating energy methods from going

unchecked (Norway, for one), so, as the high and mighty United States of America, should we not be

striving to be the best in this as well? if not for the sake of pride and competition then for the sake of

We just recieved paperwork in the mail that they will be drilling under our home, we have no choice

about it. It would make me feel a bit safer knowing there is constant monitoring of our air quality. I

hate them drilling in towns and cities with no regard for the people, so please support this measure.

I have an interdisciplinary B.A. in Science and the Humanities. In 1991 I left my profession to work as a

machinist--a position having concrete, immediate results. I became quite intolerant of the huge gulf

between policy-makers' perceptions and choices, and that of proven, present reality. It is bizarre and

unconscionable that convenience and profit continue to trump responsible action on unnecessary fossil

fuel pollution. Most of you must have come into your current positions for good reasons. Now, please

take another step into the 21st century.

I am next in line to inherit 300 acres of my family's farmland, and I would like to live there and put it to

the land--then it will be unlivable (possibly for many generations to come)!

Kristin Beauchamp

East Jordan, MI 49727-9563

I believe that fracking is a very dangerous process for several reasons: the large amounts of waste

water, the destabilization of the ground, the gases it releases, and the danger to the aquifers. It is an

environmental nightmare.

To Whom It May Concern: Every year, the oil and gas industry loses almost 8 million tons of methane

through unrepaired leaks and intentional releases. Methane has a large impact on the climate. Its heat-

trapping potential is 82 times greater than CO2 over a twenty-year period. Therefore, I urge you to

support strong methane pollution standards now. My grandson is depending on the actions you take

today so he can claim his tomorrow. Thank you!

The climate threat devastation caused by methane emissions can readily be fixed - whereas dramatically

reducing global carbon dioxide emissions will challenge our species adaptive capacity, we can readily

reduce methane emissions quickly and easily (especially by curtailing fracking for natural gas); There is

no excuse to continue to accelerate ecological and humanitarian losses around our planet when

solutions are immediately available: Please implement them!

Bert Bigelow

Orange, CA 92867-2904

This is a good first step in limiting the damage caused by fracking, but there are many other

issues...pollution of groundwater, earthquakes and toxic surface ponds. What's really needed is a ban

on fracking. That should be the long-term goal. But first we need to encourage the development of

more clean renewable energy sources...and energy conservation. So this is an interim band aid to keep

the damage to a minimum until we can do it right.

Every week there's a new story in the news about Mars and scientists looking to make it habitable, and

Hollywood pops out a block buster on going to Mars. I can't shake the hunch I hold that's because the

reality is mankind has passed a marker on earth of no return in its quest for energy,, and the planet will

no longer sustain life as a result of mankinds action so mankind needs to figure out how to inhabit a new

world. But mankind will miss the message if it goes to Mars. Mankind will do to Mars exactly as it did

earth. Our we an organism that just destroys worlds and ecosystems and all forms of natural life, or can

we learn to coexist with it?

Peggy Blanchard

Three Rivers, CA 93271-9764

We need to WAKE UP and stop acting like none of this pollution can be avoided or is too expensive to

curtail or doesn't make any difference. Those were all the same excuses industry used in the 1960's to

resist cleaning up rivers too but those in a position to enforce the laws stuck to their guns and now

rivers like the Merrimack in my home town of Haverhill, MA are safe for wildlife viewing, fishing and

boating and the river supports clean industry. Fifty years ago, almost nobody (except the scientists from

the EPA) thought it would ever happen! Dumping crap like methane into the air because it's "easier" or

"too expensive to fix" or "the way we've always done it" or "it's only a little bit" is very analogous to

what was said about cleaning up the rivers in the 1960's only this time, the ones who actually are

causing the problem will bear some of the cost instead of just the government. Good idea!

We need to set strict regulations on carbon and methane emissions within the oil and gas industry now.

Methane emissions from fracking and gas related infrastructure contributes greatly to rapidly escalating

incidents of climate disruption and must be curbed to protect our communities and future generations.

Kellee Bohannon

Saint Louis, MO 63123-1129

As strong as the oil and gas industry is in its lobbying efforts, it is very heartening to see a government

Emissions from fracking and the oil industry cause serious illness and chronic health conditions. These

are a burden we all carry in some way or another as a society. If compassion for the people suffering is

non-existent, then at least recognize that the health care costs for this is carried by all of us. Stop the

insanity of this self destruction.

I support American energy independence and I support the use of fossil fuels BUT...when energy and

mining companies of any ilk, who already make substantial profits, refuse or resist the use of available

technology that enables the most environmentally friendly extraction, storage, transport, refining, and

use of our energy resources, they need to be held accountable and compelled through whatever legal

means possible to use such environment-protecting technology. It is my strongest desire, for my

children and generations to come, that we extract and use our vast energy resources in the most

environmentally-responsible way possible. It can be a win-win situation, but unfortunately a

demonstrably insatiable level of corporate greed that never seems to consider "how much is enough"

will require citizen action and all of the legal power that can be mustered at both the state and federal

level to ensure that energy extraction is carried out using the latest environment-protecting, disaster-

mitigating technology available. Thank you for your consideration on behalf of the American people who

demand a clean environment, and for exercising the special trust and confidence that comes with your

position. Very Respectfully,

There is no reason for this dirty, dangerous, businesses to continue. Fracking endangers all people, from

Please take a stand for strong methane pollution standards - our children have to grow up on this

planet. We've GOT to stop leeching poisons into the air and water - it's imperative that we make

changes now. No amount of profit now is worth the destruction caused by methane releases via

unrepaired leaks and other releases. Compared with carbon-dioxide, methane's heat-trapping potential

is 82 times greater over a twenty year period. Smog-forming, toxic chemicals that leak from oil and gas

sites along with methane also harm air quality, endangering the health of humans, animals and

ecosystems in neighboring communities. Last month, the Obama administration proposed the first-ever

protections to curb methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. But despite new technologies that

make it easier than ever to detect methane leaks, the oil and gas industry is preparing an army of

lobbyists and lawyers to oppose the rule. They are protecting their immediate assets, not thinking of the

future. I urge you to do the right thing.

Julia Brannon

Human population continues to grow. As with all species we are genetically programmed to propagate

to survive. Almost all other species are regulated by nature through environmental , biological and other

means to limit their overpopulation. Humans are different due to their ability to control or override

these limiting factors. Population continues to grow and the worlds' industrial base increases to support

it. Ever increasing sources of energy are required to support this industrial growth, Many of these are

detrimental the global environment, which is a closed system. Methane is one example of this. This

situation will have a point of no return which may not be determined until too late, so mankind must

take action now to reverse and heal the damage we have inflicted upon our ecosystem. Obviously, the

first steps should be those that deal with the issues that are having the most negative impact. Methane

apparently fits in this category. It must be strongly regulated and eventually eliminated along with any

other natural or man made materials which degrade the environment of our planet. As stated before,

we live in a closed system and it must be properly maintained at all cost.

Methane in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas, even more effective that CO2. And most free methane

entering the atmosphere is from man's industrial activities. Either directly during fossil fuel extraction,

transport or use, or from disturbing natural methane sinks, such a wetlands, equatorial and boreal

forests and the permafrost. We can limit or stop all of these that are caused by man's actions.

A small leak becomes a big problem when one is at sea. And it is equally threatening on land, when

even tiny leaks allow methane to escape into the environment. Regulations are a cost and a nuisance,

but they save lives and in the end, they protect fuel producing companies from potential disasters and

the attendant lawsuits, penalties and fines. Let's just get it right and move on. And thanks for paying

jeopardize it's own survival for something it wants, not needs. We can both meet our energy needs

while not sacrificing our needs for clean air, water, food. Aspen is now completely using renewable

energy. We should be transitioning to renewables at a greater pace, but curbing methane pollution is a

step in the right direction. I support doing even more for our long term security.

In an industry that does as well financially as the oil and gas industry does, it is entirely reasonable that

they do everything in their power to protect the public against the environmental and human health

consequences of their business. I appreciate the good work the EPA is doing on this matter to protect

the public against these harmful emissions. Sincerely, John Bueti

Our focus should be on protecting our planet for our children and grandchildren, not increasing profits

for those whose condemn the middle class to poverty and have no regard to responsible environmental

consciousness. Evidence and scientific facts overwhelmingly suggests that investment in clean

renewable energy sources is the right thing to do - we can't afford to be wrong in these regards - our

children and grandchildren are relying on us to get it right. The right wingers are beyond repulsion -

how can any of them, personally, stand behind some of the policies they propose? It really feels like we

have stepped back to a time when no one was smart. This is really 2015, correct? What is wrong with

those who have absolutely no compassion for their fellow human?

I suffer from asthma so I am acutely aware of our degraded air quality. Personally I'd like to curtail ALL

fracking operations in the US. But barring that, we absolutely MUST hold the oil and gas industries

accountable for the emissions from their production sites. It's bad enough that they get to dump

carcinogenic fluids into our streams unabated, but it's way past time to make them reduce harmful

emissions. Naturally, they will weep and wail about increased costs- wah, wah, wah. That's an

automatic, knee-jerk reaction while they are making historic profits. Hole them accountable, increase

they personnel needed for frequent and thorough inspections, and set fines at SERIOUS PAIN LEVEL! It

MUST be HIGHER their profits for one measly hour.

Oh come on!!! Are you deaf??? Are you stupid??? This is a no-brainer!!! Methane is POISON!!! This

shouldn't be happening in the first place!!! But as usual the oil and gas industry doesn't care about the

health of the people or the planet. They only care about the almighty dollar and how much they can get

by with. They are give massive tax exemptions. They make billions in profits every year!!! They have

more than enough money to stop polluting the people and the environment!!! If the truth be told; they

could harness that methane and use it in many ways even by converting it to energy!!! You absolutely

need to enforce extremely strong methane pollution standards NOW!!!

Methanes effects on the climate are dramatically stronger than carbon dioxide, yet it receives very little

attention in talking points by media and government officials. Much more attention should be given to

trapping this gas and more so, to keep it from entering the atmosphere in the first place. Also a big no

brainer would be to capture methanes where we are certain it is being released, and harnessing it for

energy production so it is useful instead of just terribly polluting. Thank you for your time into this most

serious issue!

ETHICAL RIGHT TO DO THIS!!!

Satnam Singh Chahal

Milpitas, CA 95035-6364

For too long, the oil and gas industry has been allowed to leak millions of tons of methane and other

toxic chemicals into the air. No one should have to fear that the air they are breathing might be a threat

to their health or the health of their loved ones. That's why I support a strong methane pollution

standard and want to thank the EPA for its work to meet President Obama's goal of reducing methane

pollution from oil and gas operations 40 to 45 percent by 2025. While this proposal is an important and

necessary first step, to meet that goal, the EPA must quickly begin the process of addressing existing

sources and requiring all companies--even those that are already doing well--to regularly check for leaks.

Taking steps to cut these emissions makes sense for our health and for our planet, which is already

suffering from the impacts of climate change. The Methane Pollution Standard is a sensible, cost-

effective proposal to continue addressing the climate crisis and decrease health risks to our children and

families.

Karen Chaikin

Columbia, MD 21045-4020

According to whatsyourimpact.org, 64% of methane emissions are linked to human-related activity. Of

this, over half is directly attributable to natural gas extraction/transportation/use and oil/coal

extraction/use. By applying strong methane pollution standards now, we can take a step in the right

direction to save Earth and the creatures that call it home. It isn't all the fault of the cows.

Susan Chaloupka

I have lived a low carbon lifestyle for 35 years, using only renewable energy for heating, driving high

mpg cars and an electric car for 6 years. THe US government has improved efficiency standards for

appliances, motors, and vehicles.The EPA is implementing power plant CO2 emissions. It now needs to

take the next step and reduce the highly concentrated global warming effects of methane pollution.

Jeff Chandler

Charlotte, NC 28277-2160

We have to start taking better care of our planet. It's the only one we have. Asking for tighter Methane

We now have the technology to get completely away from gas and oil drilling. Why hasn't this been

implemented on a huge scale? The planet has more toxins in the environment created by us then it has

ever had in it's entire existence! Our planet is rapidly changing and fracking for oil and gas is only

increasing that change even more. Creating energy must be done in a completely different way for us to

survive. We are leaving our children's children a legacy of a polluted toxic world! We can do better than

this!

We need regulating agencies to prevent harm. Allowing those who would do harm to overpower an

agency charged with protection is unacceptable. Whatever infrastructure these companies have to

install to bring their product to market must be their responsibility to keep in good repair. That is simply

the cost of doing business. We real people have to anticipate our own home and personal maintenance

and repairs and set aside funds. It is irresponsible for a corporation to not do the same. If they can't

make their usual profit, tough. They have no right to make the public pay with our health, or cause

future life to suffer a warming planet. The oil and gas industry must be required to capture their toxic

emissions from all upstream, midstream and downstream operations These are extraordinary times.

Industry needs to be part of the solution, not continue to be the cause.

The industry must also be held accountable for emissions from venting, flaring, processing, etc. in

perpetuity. Many abandoned wells are leaking methane into the atmosphere. Additionally, methane

leaks through the ground itself. Methane plumes have been documented in various locations, including

Every year, the oil and gas industry loses almost 8 million tons of methane, the primary constituent of

natural gas, through unrepaired leaks and intentional releases. This is equal to the amount of natural

gas needed to heat 6.5 million U.S. homes--yet the loss continues despite the availability of proven, low-

cost solutions that could eliminate half of this pollution. Compared with carbon-dioxide, methane's

heat-trapping potential is 82 times greater over a twenty year period. EPA: Enforce the strongest rules

to curb these emissions.

Would it not be possible that the oil and gas industry, with all of its' political influence and financial

ability, invest and assist in the development of alternative energies to reduce the need for fracking. Not

Our entire way of living is at risk due to climate change . Methane (CH4) levels in the atmosphere are at

approx. 1800 ppm when the previous high was approx. 800 in the last 400,000 years! Because the

earth's surface temperature changes along w/ C02 and CH4 levels, we must significantly decrease BOTH

carbon dioxide and methane emissions immediately.

Reducing these emissions will benefit the health of the workers and people living close to this locally

With what is now known, a government cannot be legitimate without banning fossil fuels. The

environment is national security; pollution is treason.

Mary Dyer

Guysville, OH 45735-9510

It makes absolutely no sense to allow this waste to continue. This methane is something that COULD be

captured and used, as opposed to wasted. This methane is something that SHOULD be captured;

jeopardizing the climate is bad enough when the fossil fuel is actually put to use, but it is

unconscionable to allow it to happen out of sheer waste.

Willie Edwards

Tacoma, WA 98408-1232

Every year, the oil and gas industry loses almost 8 million tons of methane, the primary constituent of

natural gas, through unrepaired leaks and intentional releases. This is equal to the amount of natural

Please help by immediately getting the EPA to check those in these industries for leaks and taking all the

necessary actions to stop these companies from polluting our environment. If not for just the sake of

this current generation, think of your children's generation, or your grandchildren's generation? What

kind of air quality will they have and what kinds of health issues will they have to suffer because of our

short-sightedness? Please do something quick! We are all already suffering poor air quality and the

accompanying breathing problems due to these industries' rampant and unmonitored toxic emissions! It

been released. We cannot ignore these threats!

Theresa Epp

The technologies exist to make it easy to detect methane leaks. There are also proven, low-cost

solutions available that could eliminate half of the current methane pollution. The oil and gas industry

can certainly afford these technologies and solutions. But, of course, they don't want to invest in safety -

they want higher profits. Methane has a huge near-term impact on the climate. It is a dangerous

pollutant. This is a problem that we already know how to fix and it is time to fix it. We need strong

methane pollution standards once and for all.

Branden Fike

Tulsa, OK 74107-9512

it's obvious that big oil is using our commonwealth (roads and bridges) and not only not paying their fair

share but also contributing to the destruction of the commonwealth (polluting our air and water) so it's

high time they pay up and reduce their carbon footprint

Northwest New Mexico has a methane hotspot that can be seen from space. This is a huge problem that

demands strong and immediate action!

Julie Fisher

Encinitas, CA 92024-3053

The earth is dying and over-heating from human over-population and the myriad impacts that humans

make on the environment and all the wild species of plants and animals. Pollution is a big part of the

problem, but one of the easier problems solve is to stop gas leaks that dump 8 million tons of methane

into the environment every year. That's a not brainer. The EPA MUST act to DO ITS JOB and FORCE the

oil and gas industries to clean up and repair their leaky pipes. The EPA has largely been doing the

bidding of coal, gas, and oil industries, rather than doing its job, which IS to PROTECT the ENVIRONMENT

(not the profits and greed of corporations). I hope the EPA grows a pair of balls and starts fighting back.

Oddly enough, when people and agencies finally fight back HARD, it is amazing how fast they will find

that millions of people support their brave actions, and it is even more surprising how quickly

corporations CAN turn around and clean up their act, once they know that agencies and individual

citizens are UNITED against irresponsible and greedy corporations. The EPA needs to join the sane

people of the world and slap the oil, gas, and coal industries with tough sanctions that prohibit

extraction until those industries fix leaks and take proven action to clean up their activities. In other

words, EPA, ...it's time for YOU (as an agency) to spank the collective butts of those spoiled, rich,

corporations and bring their bratty asses in line!

Methane is a powerful global warming gas. It should not be wasted, but captured and put to good use.

John Fitzgerald

Kilkenny, MN 56032

We need to take out the deadly methane content of oil and gas industry emissions. Methane has a heat-

trapping potential, 82 times greater than CO2, so is the real villain as regards near-term damage to our

climate, environment and air quality issues. Effective technologies exist and must be made mandatory

for all polluting fossil fuel industries, so as we can protect our health, climate and the rights of people to

breathe clean air.

We NO FRACKING SIGNS ALL OVER I am fortunate to live in the beauty of the Smokey Mountains in

Western NC. Yes, they are planning to do Fracking here, near me. What part of this do they not

understand? This beautiful area, with these majestic Mountains would have to be shaved down and

would they really find ANYTHING? Most likely not except the destruction of the Smokey Mountains. Our

Governer Pat McCrory has already given them the right to do this. Of course a Republican. These kind

gentle people of the mountains have taken action by putting signs up in these small towns since we

make our living by tourism. People come from all over to see these majestic Mountains and our culture.

So, what type of Kick Backs is the Governor of this state getting????????

Administrator McCarthy, I will rely on the form letter for facts. But I want to say that I am a former

employee of what was then Duke Power where I worked to burn coal to make electricity. I understand

that we need to make tough choices in order to generate power. I understand that some companies are

much better than others at minimizing negative impacts. I also know that companies have a duty to

their shareholders and have limits on how many steps they can take to protect the environment beyond

what is required by law. So please raise the bar so that companies can do the right thing and have cover

from stockholder suits. Kevin E Flynn

Carbon emissions and the impact they have in the environment are the #1 issue of our time. From ocean

acidification to devastating climate change the evidence of their negative impact is incontrovertible, and

we cannot in good conscience allow fracking to continue increasing this in the name of a fake energy

security, especially when hydrocarbon prices are at rock bottom.

Lorain, OH 44052-4844

Dear Administrator McCarthy, For too long, the oil and gas industry has been allowed to leak millions of

tons of methane and other toxic chemicals into the air. No one should have to fear that the air they are

breathing might be a threat to their health or the health of their loved ones. That's why I support a

strong methane pollution standard and want to thank the EPA for its work to meet President Obama's

goal of reducing methane pollution from oil and gas operations 40 to 45 percent by 2025. While this

proposal is an important and necessary first step, to meet that goal, the EPA must quickly begin the

process of addressing existing sources and requiring all companies--even those that are already doing

well--to regularly check for leaks. Taking steps to cut these emissions makes sense for our health and

for our planet, which is already suffering from the impacts of climate change. The Methane Pollution

Standard is a sensible, cost-effective proposal to continue addressing the climate crisis and decrease

health risks to our children and families.

It should be obvious in the middle of a drought that our ground water is a precious commodity that

Every year, the oil and gas industry loses almost 8 million tons of methane, the primary constituent of

natural gas, through unrepaired leaks and intentional releases. This is equal to the amount of natural

cost solutions that could eliminate half of this pollution. I support strong methane pollution standards

and YOU must also!

The health damage from methane and related pollution from the gas industry falls most heavily on the

Every year, the oil and gas industry loses almost 8 million tons of methane, the primary constituent of

natural gas, through unrepaired leaks and intentional releases. Methane has a huge near-term impact

on the climate. Compared with carbon-dioxide, methane's heat-trapping potential is 82 times greater

over a twenty year period. Smog-forming, toxic chemicals that leak from oil and gas sites along with

methane also harm air quality, endangering the health of people in neighboring communities. With

rapidly escalating oil and gas development driving climate change and jeopardizing people's health, we

desperately need to curb methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is

preparing an army of lobbyists and lawyers to oppose environmental protections. The EPA is the agency

that can create and enforce air pollution limits on the gas and oil industries. We call upon the EPA to

continue to safeguard our environment and preserve nature for longevity of life on earth.

Emojean Girard

Tucson, AZ 85705-1526

Fracking not only leads to the leaking of methane gas which has a multiple impact on global warming ,

but, by storage of waste fracking fluids endangers nearby and underground water supplies, endangering

food production and our health. It must be strongly regulated or prohibited.

good fight and trying to hit this message home to the American people, and fairly show up big polluter

companies in their endeavors to virtually harvest the Earth. Don't give up EPA, it's not over till you can at

The wealthiest industries in the world consistently fail to put any funds into preserving the environment.

They are missing out on the greatest PR they could ever have, and that is cleanly handling refuse from

their endeavors. But since fracking is the worst thing that has ever happened environmentally in this

world, and we have been selling creosol to developing nations as a cheap and toxic fuel, we not only

have emission problems here, but we are selling them to the poorest of the poor for fuel. Fracking is an

issue that is going to bring together disparate people in this nation, because everything about it is so

dangerous and lethal that people will have to unite to stop it - EVERYWHERE.

Nancy Greenfield

Westport, CT 06881-0214

Please cease all fracking and new oil drilling practices. Not only does this pollute our air, but it also

pollutes our acquifers. We are an intelligent enough species and country, for that matter, to come up

with new and never-before-imagined healthy and less taxing sources of energy and products such as oil

that are used to produce energy. Retrofitting and redesigning machinary and systems that once used oil,

shale oil, coal, and other source materials ripped from the ground... the retrofitting and redesigning will

create jobs here in America. It will employ both educated Engineers and laborers, alike. It will free our

country from spoiling its own land and sickening its own people and disrupting the environment,

ecosystems and more all for the sake of being less dependent on foreign oil. Let's become less

dependent on any oil. That wll help free us. Put scientists and engineers and laborers to work and lets

see an new Ecological Economics revolution (to be our next historical wave after the Industrial

Revolution and Technological or Digital Revolution... now let's have an Ecological Economics revolution).

Thank you.

dollar.

Amanda Gronich

Our climate cannot absorb effectively 8 million tons of methane gas per year. We are now enduring

Auburn, WA 98002-7086

The EPA can and must act to reduce the buildup of greenhouse gases that threatens to make our planet

unlivable. Methane leaks from fracking and other fossil fuel extracting technologies are a major

component that must be strictly limited and carefully regulated. In May 2013, the level of carbon in our

atmosphere reached 400 parts per million, higher than at any time since human life began, a level that

far exceeds any deviation that could possibly be attributed to a normal climate. In fact, the level of

greenhouse gases now far exceeds periods of Earth's most catastrophic epochs of mass extinction. The

rise average global temperature has already caused significant reductions in the size and extent of the

Arctic polar ice cap. This means that more of the sun's heat is being absorbed by the oceans instead of

being reflected back into space. This feedback loop is increasing the pace of atmospheric changes that

result in devastating super storms and sea level rise, effects that are destructive to human communities

as well as to habitat for many forms of wildlife. But, there is another risk that is causing climate

scientists to be even more worried that the pace of climate change will continue to accelerate. As the

oceans warm, underwater deposits of frozen methane are beginning to dissociate, a melting process

that could release tons of this uber greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. As Arctic ice recedes, frozen

tundra in Siberia is also melting, also releasing massive amounts of methane. Methane is even more

efficient than carbon dioxide at trapping the sun's heat and warming the planet. If enough methane is

released, corrective action will not be possible. What does this mean? It means carbon dioxide is the

fuse and methane is the bomb. It means a world that will no longer support life as we know it. It means

we must take action now to pull ourselves back from this tipping point.

We must protect Planet Earth, and fracking is not the way to do it.

Meghan Hassett

Farmingdale, NY 11735-4934

In an age where conservation of resources is key, it's simply asinine to allow the waste of energy at such

a large scale and to allow pollution. We all know they want to make money... But we want to breathe

air, not methane.

Drastically reducing methane releases into our atmosphere is essential if we are to make progress

fighting climate change. I support strong action to see that this happens.

James Haywood

Perry Hall, MD 21128-9737

We need strong standards to curb methane pollution and improve air quality. The oil & gas industry

should be held accountable for their indifference to unrepaired leaks as well as intentional releases of

methane. We are hurting our planet.

Stop poisoning us! Unless something is done about these dangerous emissions and water pollution by

frackers then before long the medical costs will sky rocket and you will be left with much fewer people

to vote you into office. Its not going to be a pretty world you will find yourself trying to run. Harder

work for you and more money to spend out is never going to make you popular. Help to change thing

now and make life easier for yourself in the future. Save the USA while you can.

Holly Heath-shepard

Rolesville, NC 27571-9464

Dear Administrator McCarthy: As a concerned North Carolinian, the mother of a wounded warrior, the

grandmother of two terrific little grandkids, I am asking my legislators to make the changes necessary to

protect our earth, water and air so that our "home" will be a place where our children and grand-

children can live, grow and prosper. It really doesn't take a great scientific mind to look at the changes

happening to our landscape and know that something is really wrong. Our generation - and the one

before - have made some serious mistakes. We have made decisions based on what we thought was

good and right at the time. But, we were wrong. And, if we don't acknowledge our shortcomings and

errors, our children and grandchildren - those wonderful little people who DEPEND upon us to keep

them safe - will inherit a mess that will be impossible to reverse. Please. Let's do better than this. We

can do better than this. Let's take action so that future generations can truly enjoy all of the

wonderment that you and I have been able to enjoy and appreciate. Let this be our gift to them.

Sincerely, Holly Heath-Shepard

Shawn Hedrick

Schuylerville, NY 12871-1157

I will add that as I am a roofer who is currently working at Global Foundries chip plant in Malta, NY, I

know first hand of the emissions coming from just this place alone, and they sicken us as we work.

Obviously being on the roofs near the exhaust stacks enables me to smell/breathe/taste the emissions

easily. I can also smell/taste/breathe the toxic output on the ground as well. This means that everybody

that goes in and out of that plant are also exposed. Saratoga county has paid a high price in taxes and

tax relief for this place, and if the emissions that I smell are any indication, they will pay very high price

to come in the future.

Diana Heeman

As a grandparent I am concerned about the quality of the environment we are leaving to next

Maev Hewitt

Cross River, NY 10518-1307

Cutting emissions from oil and gas drilling of all kinds, everywhere, and not just from fracking, should be

a priority for the EPA - and from this presidential administration. The EPA must team up with the

president to face down the oil and gas industry, which has shown over and over again, a callous

indifference to public health and the entire environment - indeed, to the entire planet. This industry

cannot be trusted in any way to act voluntarily to control, let alone, cut back emissions like methane

pollution, unless forced to do so by government action. America cannot wait - Earth cannot wait - the

climate cannot withstand more procrastination and evasions. We thank the EPA for its work to date, but

urge them to continue and increase the fight against methane and other pollution.

Gail Heyer

Sedona, AZ 86339-8617

I have asthma and methane gas exposure only exacerbates it. I know others who react in the same way.

Control of emissions is very important for both human health and for global warming.

Catherine Heyne

Albuquerque, NM 87108-3626

Global change is happening under your watch. It is your responsibility to maintain the health of this

nation; for too long, the oil and gas industry has been allowed to leak millions of tons of methane and

other toxic chemicals into the air. Protect our air & lands. Take action to reduce methane & reduce this

despoiling. Thank you.

Angela Hibbard

Detroit, MI 48221-3029

It may be that the decision-makers in the oil and gas development community don't live anywhere near

the extraction wells -- and their families surely don't suffer from the smell, the taste in the water, and

the amazing "trick" of being able to light a match to a running water faucet and see their water go up in

flame. If they did, I'm sure they immediately introduce the appropriate technology to take care of the

escaping methane problem. Out of sight, out of mind works for awhile, but not for the long run. People

like myself -- people who think it matters that this technical "oversight" makes a fundamental difference

to other citizens-- will keep writing and going to court until things change. Do it now or do it later, but

now is cheaper in the long run.

Michael Hickey

Reston, VA 20190-3924
