The Marcellus Effect
One of the things that residents in NY have been asking their towns to do before Marcellus drilling takes off is develop some noise and light ordinances. In fact, Tioga Investigates Natural Gas (TING), an advisory group in Tioga County, NY includes information on developing such ordinances in their resource binder (along with road agreements and lots of other useful stuff).
If you have never seen – or heard or smelled – fracking, here’s a video of a fracking operation by Williams Gas Company at the Hollenbeck well site on Franklin Forks Rd., Franklin Forks, PA in Susquehanna County. The video was recorded on December 15 – just yesterday – at 6:30 pm. The active drilling site is across the road from a home; pay attention to the truck traffic.
Much thanks to Vera Scroggins, Citizens for Clean Water (Susquehanna County, PA)for the video.
