full disclosure of chemicals is in the public intrest
 

Please allow  that all chemicals be disclosed in any kind of gas drilling operation, or underground Injection control operation.     Given what has just happened in West Virginia,  A coal slurry spill yesterday, and a coal ash spill in the Dan river, our waters cannot take another assault.    The West Virginia case should especially highlight the need for the lublic to be informed of the impacts of chemicals, that enter our waterway. Even after then  Public consumption ban has been lifted many people in the state dont trust their own drinking water.    Not passing this policy, would pave the way for something similar to happen in Virginia

Thank You
