DEP's Hanger: Natural Gas Industry
Must Improve Performance
DEP Secretary John Hanger has warned state senators of serious consequences for the natural gas industry if companies are caught sacrificing safety for profits.
Hanger spoke during a senate committee hearing today and said the industry must improve its performance and stop gas migration, water pollution and well blowouts.
Hanger declined to reveal the results so far of the investigation into the blowout of a well in Clearfield County earlier this month, but said an investigator hired by the state to look into the incident is expected to have his report finished in three weeks.
Speaking with WESB and The HERO this afternoon, US Senator Bob Casey said he’s glad Hanger is taking the situation seriously.
“That’s good news that Secretary Hanger knows how important it is to get answers here because people are really worried about that.”
