Petition Statement

Natural gas hydraulic fracture drilling must be delayed to await impact studies by the EPA and environmental agencies inside states where drilling is to be carried out.
There are currently 13,950 signatures. NEW goal - We need 15,000 signatures!

Petition Background

Four bills introduced to the Michigan House on Nov. 3, 2011 (House Bills 5149-5151 and 4736) must be passed to protect the largest source of above-ground freshwater in the world, the Great Lakes and their feeder water system inside the State of Michigan, from use by hydraulic fracturing companies seeking to drill for natural gas in Michigan shale. A moratorium must delay drilling until impact studies are completed by the EPA and Michigan's Department of Natural Resources and Department of Environmental Quality.
