Backup Documents 10/08/2013 Item # 77'
I will offer the CC voters a choice at the polls and through out the
state. All 67 counties. I hope to find independent candidates to
challenge incumbents and to run for open seats. Our parry
stands for Truth , Honesty and Justice, our platform will be
detailed in the future Jeff, I hope you take me seriously. I have
big money backers that will me make fit happen. Neither parry is
offering solutions to our Nations problems. Dead lock is
happening. No respect for the Constitution or the Bill of Rights
Any success will be a victory. As you are arbiter of all things
political in Collier County, I ask for your review of my comments
and plans, you can see my announcement in the tape of the BCC
MTG TODAY, Seems a long time since we played racquet ball
and you told me, I should run. for Collier County Commissioner.
Jeff, your thoughts would be appreciated,
Jim Flagler. Aka. Henry

Collier County Commissioners' Oil Meeting Speech 10/08
Unless the Collier County Commission passes and enforces local
ordinances, Hughes is free under current law (and these issued permits) to
employ any of the newer drilling processes known as "slick water, high
pressure, high volume, horizontal fracking." Horizontal directional drilling
poses far greater risk to health and environment than vertical
drilling. Consider this, in order to do what they do, the Bush administration
had to exempt the industry from key provisions of seven federal
environmental laws: the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Safe
Drinking Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the
National Environmental Policy Act, the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act. Exempt means unaccountable. The federal
authorities won't regulate; the state authorities won't do it, either.
Recklessly the oil industry is invited to regulate itself!
The industry hype promoting drilling the Everglades does not realistically
show the very real impacts of this type of energy development. New
extraction processes are not "perfectly safe" and not "clean" at all! And it is
certainly not the same drilling that's been done "safely" for more than 60
years, as we've been told to believe.
Hughes is free under current law to employ the newer process and
technology without applying for any new permits, in fact, without telling us
that they're doing it. The recently permitted well effectively begins the
industrialization of our treasured Everglades' environment. If Colliers insist
on exploring and extracting the tight oil in Sunniland we will pay a price that
is much more than we can afford. Collier County's industrialization runs
rampant when we permit oil drilling. The concomitant fresh water
contamination, air quality and health issues, road destruction, erosion, illegal
dumping, landowner rights abuses, and quality of life issues associated with
extracting the oil beneath us are staggering! The long term environmental
and health impacts for humans, flora and fauna have not been adequately
assessed ahead of this rush to drill.
John P. Dwyer, Ph.D. 1
_-'
You County Commissioners have the power to protect us where the effete
regulators have failed. Please take a brave stand and do not gamble away our
most precious paradise. We need strong county ordinances, strictly
enforced.
Air Pollution
For those of us who have lived here for decades well know, along with those
of us who have driven with open eyes through the area of the dark ghosts of
pine trees pointing their dark fingers at the heavens can guess, that the
Golden Gate and Everglades "brush fires" of uncontrollable violence of the
past will rush through, wind-driven for miles, during the dry season. Some
years we are lucky. Some not. Some fires are started by careless people's
campfires, cigarettes, some by perverse attempts to build rain clouds in a
very dry sky. Some are started by freak dry season lightning strikes. But to
have at each well site a gas flare! If you've ever lived in oil country, as I
have and meditated upon its ordinary ten-foot/lame roaring upward, have
observed how the flare periodically and suddenly expands and becomes
more violent. To place such a thing in Golden Gate or in Big Cypress or in
any other part of the Everglades is insane.
The 2013 Florida Statutes 403.072 Pollution Prevention Act.—Sections
403.072-403.074 may be cited as the "Pollution Prevention Act."
D, E, F, G 403.021 Pollution of air and waters of South Florida is a menace
to public health and welfare, creates a public nuisance, and is harmful to
wildlife, fish and other aquatic life. Such oil drilling pollution impairs
domestic, agricultural and recreational uses of air and water.
John P. Dwyer, Ph.D. 2
7
Because it is the declared public policy of Florida to achieve and maintain
levels of air quality as will protect human health and safety as well as
prevent injury to plant and animal life, we subscribe to fostering the comfort
and convenience of the people and want to facilitate the enjoyment of the
natural attractions of this state. Furthermore the legislature has declared that
citizens should be afforded protection from the dangers inherent in the
release of toxic or hazardous vapors, gases, or volatile liquids into the
environment.
Oil drilling in Naples is antithetical to each of these elements our legislators'
statutes have affirmed. First is the release of hazardous air pollutants,
including deadly hydrogen sulfide as well as sulfur dioxide created when the
well flare combusts this and other gasses brought to the surface by drilling.
Moreover, the 24/7 three-month use of three 1,000 horsepower diesel
engines on site will produce levels of pollutants and noise that will disturb if
not destroy our natural flora and fauna. This is not to mention the hundreds
of diesel trucks bringing in the rig and associated materials for pad, road,
pipes, chemicals, storage tanks, and temporary housing on the unimproved
dirt road smoking the whole neighborhood with thick dust. Second, the oil
and gas industry cannot be exempted from pollution regulations that prohibit
such lethal and carcinogenic compounds as benzene, toluene, methane,
sulphur dioxide, and polycyclic hydrocarbons. These substances, even when
flared, are going to interact with atmospheric gases to form ground-level
ozone, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and deposits of hazardous
particulate matter and other gases inimical to the famed salubriousness of
South Florida's air and the cleansing effects of our famed sheet water flow.
John P. Dwyer, Ph.D. 3
• 7
The statute specifically prohibits "new wetland impacts." Simply
designating a parcel or a field as for "agricultural use" does not stop the
natural annual rise of the water table nor diminish the considerable volume
of sheet flow during an especially good rainy season like this one. A two
foot berm around the well cannot prevent fluid migration when the water
level exceeds two feet (as in September it nearly always does) and the flow
rushes over the berms and back into the surrounding wetlands.
Third, 403.021 provides that no wastes be discharged into any state waters
without first being given the degree of treatment necessary to protect the
beneficial uses of such water. The over 700 different chemicals used in
drilling are extremely dangerous to humans and other life forms and are
concentrated in the constantly recycled drilling fluids euphemistically
referred to as "brine" and the chemically coated "filings" that sift down to
the bottom of the holding pools. Without local ordinances that strictly
comply with state statutes, drilling even more wells in the Sunniland Trend
will adversely affect human, animal, plant, and aquatic life that flourish here.
60 % of all US oil and gas wells used fracking while horizontally drilling.
There must be an absolute prohibition from drilling companies' use of
various acids and the many trade-secret chemicals so inimical to the health
and welfare of local forms of life. These fluids and filings must be
constantly monitored by true chemists (now in very short supply) who will
frequently test for all specifically-prohibited compounds, and who will make
their results easily accessible to the public so that the nearly universal
corporate tendency to ignore regulations is suppressed. The supposed 800
tests of water per day by Collier authorities are not focused on the trade
secret chemicals of the drillers and so produce results that we cannot trust.
John P. Dwyer, Ph.D. 4
7 .01
For example, when we test for arsenic, we cannot see the strontium or
anything else. All we can see are various concentrations of arsenic. The
"final" injection of these many lethal fluids and particles into the boulder
zone does not in any way guarantee their exclusion from migration upward
and outward into our precious state waters. Such vile pollution of our now
pure state waters and air is a careless and morally repugnant destruction of
our rapidly depleting natural resources.
Discharging well drilling wastes into the state's pure water, discharging well
drilling gases into our now clean and pure air and causing deadly
precipitants to fall into our sheet flow where it will be consumed by thirsty
wildlife and filter down into our shallow household water wells is criminal.
What these permits have done is authorize new land disturbance, new
wetland impacts, new air pollution as well as promote the presumption of
innocence that drilling companies will not use acidification or hydraulic
fracturing. Each of these grievous consequences is prohibited by 403.021.
Water Pollution 403.0625/863
403.0625 Environmental laboratory certification; water quality tests
conducted by a certified laboratory To assure the acceptable quality,
reliability, and validity of testing results, the department and the Department
of Health shall jointly establish criteria for certification of laboratories that
perform analyses of environmental samples that are not covered by the
provisions in s. 403.863.
John P. Dwyer, Ph.D. 5
7 .1
403.863 State public water supply laboratory certification program.—
(1) The department and the Department of Health shall jointly develop a
state program, and the Department of Health shall adopt rules for the
evaluation and certification of all laboratories, other than the principal state
laboratory, which perform or make application to perform analyses pursuant
to the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act or which conduct a water analysis
business. Such joint development shall be funded in part through the use of a
portion of the State Public Water Systems Supervision Program grants
received by the department from the Federal Government in order to
implement the federal act.
Last week's homework assignment for you was to read Michael Klare's
book along with Richard Heinberg's. I also sent you each a web page
.4 @p1- cti g pictures of typical oil rigs, engines, trucks and tanks to let you
know what to expect on 24th Avenue S.E. and to give you an idea what our
Desoto Blvd. children and parents are threatened with--even if nothing goes
wrong. Do you really have the heart to allow this to happen?
We need you to acknowledge that you have the right and the jurisdiction to
say what the Colliers and their drillers are going to do with our land use.
When the stewards of Paradise, Adam and Eve were about to be tempted,
angels came to predict the temptation and prophesy what would happen in
the future if they succumbed. Our local stewards are no better than Adam
and Eve. Please, listen to the right voices. Don't just allow the stewards to
exercise their free will. We've seen what happened last time.
