The essay should write to the Governor of New York detailing the ban of natural gas
hydrofracking in the State of New York and what safeguards should be recommended. Write the letter from the point of view of a health scientist working for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Public Health
Consultants, a branch of the US Dept of Health and Human Services. The first paragraph should introduce me and my position as well as a thesis statement on my three points.  The next 3 paragraphs will each make a separate and distinct point that backs up my position in the first paragraph. You must justify each point with fact/science (not
just an emotional plea). The last paragraph will contain the summary and
recommendations to the Governor on whether to allow hydrofracking operations in New
York and under what circumstances (i.e. regulations).

The paper requires at least three (3) mainstream
references. Mainstream means a peer-reviewed science journal, government agency,
an article in a major magazine or newspaper, a science-based advocacy group, or
information posted by industry.
