ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION SCOPE
R-CAUSE: Rochesterians Concerned About Unsafe Shale-gas Extraction

Street
City, New York
14618

R-CAUSE was created by Rochester citizens who treasure New York State and want its waters, land and air to remain clean and its communities to remain viable. R-CAUSE's goal is to inform as many people in the Rochester area as possible about the risks associated with high-volume, slick-water, horizontal hydraulic fracturing. We hear a lot about the Marcellus Shale which lies south of the Thruway, but we hear little about the Utica Shale which lies under parts of the Marcellus, and under Rochester and Lake Ontario. According to some the Utica Shale is deeper and may contain even richer deposits of natural gas than the Marcellus.

New York Residents Against Drilling (NYRAD)
607-748-1977
741 Echo Rd
Vestal, New York
13850

New York Residents Against Drilling (NYRAD) is a grassroots network of local
residents who are opposed to unconventional gas development in New York
State.

Horizontal hydraulic fracturing threatens our land, air, and water,
jeopardizing the economic and physical health of our communities. Thousands
of wells, many miles of pipelines, and large noisy compressor stations could
turn our rural communities into giant industrial zones.

Therefore, we are joining together to:

  - educate ourselves and our neighbors about the long-term negative
  economic, environmental, health, and community impacts of gas extraction by
  hydraulic fracturing;
  - advocate for legislation to safeguard our communities from these
  threats;
  - encourage the development of alternative, green, sustainable energy
  sources;

We believe that all people have a right to clean air and pure water, and
that it is our duty to preserve and protect the natural, scenic, historic,
and commercial assets of this beautiful state we live in, for ourselves and
future generations.
