There are homes in this rural area that have stood empty for a year already and will probably not be sold because of the eminent threats and disruption posed by gas industry operations. After 35 years we must now relocate to a "Shale Free" area in an attempt to regain the quality of life we are losing here. Pending mandentory pooling legislation in Pennsylvania won't even allow us to deny access to a corporation or refuse to sell them a commodity from the property we now own. Our home will become worthless but our biggest fear by far is for the land we leave behind and the life it supports.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622382568578063864.post-87439295386345795392010-08-07T20:04:43.612-04:002010-08-07T20:04:43.612-04:00After battling quicksilver fracking company and ci...After battling quicksilver fracking company and city officials for over a year over four wells quicksilver wanted to put within 200 feet of our 550 home community we won the battle. Quicksilver used deceptive trade practices in obtaining waivers - they were city waivers (God blessed us with that)<br />we also did a petition half the homeowners signed. We need a national petition/agenda where the federal government takes the power out of these city officials hands and allowing them to do whatever they want. There are going to be a lot of politicians out of a job come next voting day. How many millions of people in 34 states are being effected - their health and the value of their home and land - and are living under duress because of this and politicians<br />lack of humane responsibility. <br /><br />http://www.thepetitionsite.com/3/stop-unregulated-natural-gas-drillingchris gortonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622382568578063864.post-33431159422648551182010-07-29T08:43:31.008-04:002010-07-29T08:43:31.008-04:00In a written report about this tragedy by Joe Mand...In a written report about this tragedy by Joe Mandak with the Associated press, he reported on an email statement made by John Hanger of the DEP about this incident:<br /><br />“DEP John Hanger said in an e-mail message that the well where the accident occurred Friday is not part of the lucrative Marcellus Shale, a rock formation that drillers began tapping about two years ago.”<br /><br />I guess he is implying that this only happens to shallow gas wells? In light of this tragedy this is a very strange and insensitive statement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
