DEP to Meet with Marcellus Shale Drillers
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary John Hanger has called oil and gas company officials to Harrisburg to discuss their drilling operations in the Marcellus shale.
The meeting will be May 13.
Hanger says he wants to avoid a repeat of the pollution in Susquehanna County, where DEP says Louisiana-based Cabot Oil & Gas allowed methane gas to migrate into 14 residential water wells.
Locally, DEP cited Schreiner Oil & Gas Company for polluting water in the Hedgehog Lane area.
