Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
Yet another interesting article... make sure you read the asterisked part...

Here’s another interesting article about gas drilling in state forestlands in PA.
Sounds great.
The Marcellus Memos: Privately, Rendell’s State Forest tsars expressed deep concern over...
Rather than debate with the Monty Python argument clinic, write the DRBC. It’s easy and FUN! Some folks don’t want you to think that trout anglers should fight for their streams. They like to muddy the waters (pun intended) and try to make you think that you can’t make a difference, that this...
Here we go again… There is another permit before the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) to de-water a trout stream in the Delaware Watershed for natural gas drilling. As you may recall, this is the second attempt by the gas industry to get into the watershed. The first permit, which was an...
Ummm... Benzene is also used in fracking fluids, according to this article in the NY Times. See below.
BTW: is benzene good for trout? Is it good for trout streams? Is it good for hatches? Is it good for watersheds? For that matter, is gas drilling good for trout? Is it good for trout...
Glad the EPA is on top of this. All citizens should now run out and buy benzene detectors, which it looks like we will all need once drilling starts -- See breaking news story below from Fort Worth Star Telegram, where hydrofracking is already happening big time (Barnett shale is another deep...
Let's review:
NYDEC: Wants to scrap the EIS
US EPA: Has serious problems w/EIS
NY DEC Union: Asks for 1 year moratorium and has serious issues w/EIS
Kilgour and FF: Full steam ahead!!
You guys seriously crack me up!!
The EIS comment period is over, so I’m done debating about gas drilling – at least here. I thank everyone who took the time to write to the Gov, DEC and DRBC. I believe we all made a huge difference. I hope this means good karma, fine hatches, and giant rising trout next spring for all of...
I hate to break it to you, but the "article" you and Kilgour are both fawning over is a verbatim press release from Chesapeake (Business Wire is a press release distribution service). Are you guys now resorting to posting spin from the public relations office of the gas companies and trying to...
I agree -- context is everything. You posted this -- plus your interpretation of the law: ("The word forever wild pertains to surface rights. I see no where in Article XIV that mineral extractions are prohibited.") on an extremely pro-gas drilling website...
Mr. Kilgour,
This what you wrote on the PA Gas lease forum when someone asked about gas drilling within the “blue line” (the Catskill Park designation)
Here’s your direct quote:
“The word forever wild pertains to surface rights. I see no where in Article XIV that mineral extractions are...
I’m sorry you feel that way. Not sure what you think is disingenuous, though. New York’s City’s position seems pretty straight forward…
Mr. Kilgour has stated in previous posts that he thinks it would be OK to drill in areas designated by NYS as Forever Wild. Do you think that is “properly...
