Impact of Marcellus Gas Drilling on Drinking WaterFriday, 28 October 2011 04:04
The Center for Rural Pennsylvania Friday released the findings of an unbiased and large scale study of water quality in private water wells in rural Pennsylvania before and after the drilling of nearby Marcellus Shale gas wells, according to Sen. Gene Yaw (R-Bradford), Center Chair. The study is entitled, "The Impact of Marcellus Gas Drilling on Rural Drinking Water Supplies, was a Center -sponsored research project conducted by Dr. Elizabeth W. Boyer, Bryan R. Swistock, James Clark, Mark Madden, and Dana E. Rizzo of Pennsylvania State University. The report was funded by a grant from the Center, which is a legislative agency of the General Assembly. N.Y. Gas Drillers' Victory Soured by New RulesTuesday, 25 October 2011 19:37
