Hydraulic Fracturing in New York State Web Archive

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: Aug, 2011

Description:

For a number of years, the citizens of New York State have engaged in a rich debate concerning the prospect of hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale. While some of the discussion and events have been captured by news outlets, much of the information is appearing on web sites and social media. Unfortunately, web sites disappear over time and important content can vanish. To ensure that this important trove of information is available to future generations of scholars, the Cornell University Library is creating a permanent archive of the web sites concerned with the issue of hydraulic fracturing in New York.

Description: The TCCOG Task Force on Gas Drilling seeks to network municipalities within Tompkins County, New York to manage the large amount of information surrounding drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica shales using the technique called hydraulic fracturing. The Task Force will explore avenues for municipalities to exert local control over gas drilling activities that affect the health, safety and well-being of their residents and resources. The Task Force refers to itself as TANG (Tompkins Addresses Natural Gas). -- from website, November 24, 2014
