Ban Fracking in Rochester
719 SIGNATURESGOAL: 1,000 signaturesEvidence increasingly shows that hydraulic fracturing devastates the natural ecosystems and human communities where this practice for natural gas extraction is used. Fracking poisons our water and our air, increases earthquake activity, sickens our families, and stresses local infrastructure. Yet despite this and the continued resistance by the people, our state elected officials have taken no action to permanently halt such catastrophic activities by the gas industry within New York State.
The City of Rochester, recognizing the threat of fracking, has previously established a moratorium on such activities in June 2012 and June 2013. However, this is set to expire in the coming months leaving our community vulnerable.
Therefore, we, the People of the City of Rochester, call on Mayor Lovely Warren and the Rochester City Council to enact legislation banning hydraulic fracturing, the transport of its byproducts, and all other related activities, within the City of Rochester.

I live in a house with no sub floor or basement I’ve been here 38years but about 4 years now I have shacking on my floors and I can hear the fracking 24hrs a day I have been in touch with my water flowing underneath my chair and bed.ive been in touch with our commissioner in greece he says he would look into it. I called the city and I asked about a moritoium and he told me that they didn’t need a moritoium anymore but I know our city of Rochester? This noise has affected my nervous system, hearing and my dog has been affected also. The Monroe county water authorities says they are not using the water? And they also gave me free water for the last 4 years? Is there anything I can do, our water is cloudy then it slowly clears I have never. NYS was here to check our water and said it passed then they came back several days after and fined the water authority for not keeping the water safe. This was back in 1998 and the water authority never cleaned our water? Now they are fracking 24hrs a day for 4yrs and I could not find a moratorium in place? My house is on Cinder blocks and I swear they are making my house move? I need help hoping you could give me some kind of insight on this fracking please help me before I have a nervous breakdown. I have recordings from placing my cellphone on my floors to prove they are fracking
