There have been a series of New York Times stories on Marcellus Shale and “fracking” and how gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania has polluted rivers or ground water.
But, many Pennsylvania regulators like Commissioner John Hanger of the Department of Environmental Protection does not think “fracking” is so bad. A testing done by the Pennsylvania American Water Co. Utility showed no pollution to Pennsylvania Rivers. Water quality in Pennsylvania rivers complies with federal and state standards.
We have done some investigating of our own and would like to share our Marcellus Shale Resource page with you. This site gives you some basics about what Marcellus Shale and “fracking” in Pennsylvania is all about and we have put together a list of some helpful and informative sites about this very recent and local topic to all of us in Pennsylvania and to those who own property on the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania.
Please subscribe to the blog or check back as we add more information as it becomes available.
