Natural gas drilling of Marcellus Shale reserves constitutes a major resource and industry in our county and the state of Pennsylvania. Our water monitoring efforts attempt to assess the impact of all types of human and natural dimensions, including natural gas drilling activities. We do not act as a regulatory agency and we approach the issue from a scientific standpoint. However, we do advocate for proper education on the complex nature of this industry. Please browse the following resources to learn more about natural gas drilling in our county and state:
