Many gas wells of Marcellus Shale located across Pennsylvania could provide a shot in the arm of the State's economy, the creation of more than 45 000 jobs, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, but several environmental groups and residents are concerned about the effects the process used has on the ecosystem and the quality of the State of the water. With the recently classified Susquehanna River more endangered to the United States administration same Governor Tom Corbett appealed to the more severe laws and regulations on the hydraulic fracturing, or fracking for natural gas, the Associated Press reports.
The Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Michael Krancer, recently made a series of recommendations to Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission of the Governor. The AP, these recommendations are limit gas drilling within 1,000 feet of any public water supply. Also included that report is a need to clarify the authority of the DEP to revoke or question of permit drilling and the strengthening of the sanctions per day for all violations.
Four environmental groups also represented on the Advisory Board of Marcellus Shale, agree that regulations better planning and more strict are in order for companies fracking for gas in Pennsylvania, under the new Patriot. These groups wish to make a request by the DEP for all drilling wastewater not to take to processing plants where he leaves in the rivers to be transformed into an enforceable right. Some groups also support a tax or tax on gas from shale, with collected money devoted to green initiatives. Groups to also support a provision that would allow the State to collect comprehensive information on chemicals injected into the soil to extract the gas.
A number of different regulations and drilling proposals led her to forth in the Government of Pennsylvania since last year. Many of these proposals and recommendations have been the lack of actions by State legislators. The Government wants to strike a balance and partnership with drilling companies so that they continue to do business in the State. However, the legacy of the fracking process can come at a price uncomfortable environment for residents. If legislation will be complete is soon mysterious, but the consultative Commission Marcellus shale is due to submit his comprehensive report in July of this year.
