If you see a wellhead in your fishing/hunting travels, please do me a favor and snap a pic of it, then email/PM to me. I'd like to have a few pics for the Susquehanna River Basin Committee. They would like a photo pic to add to their list of sites within your County.
I know of the one outside of Terrytown, PA and the well opposite of LeRoy Mtn. in LeRoy, PA off of SR 414.
I'm especially interested in pics of wellheads or developing sites in, on, or around any SGL's or state designated "wild areas".
Also, please note if your around an active site where gas driller water trucks are withdrawing water from our streams they must have a permit from both the DEP and the PFBC displayed at the withdrawl site. If you don't see a permit displayed at a site... contact your local WCO. They are probably withdrawing illegally.
Also, a lot of the drillers are using municipal water from hydrants to fill the trucks. It's time to support the legislation to have the drillers use Acid Mine Deposition water instead of our good clean water. The fracking brine created when they drill has numerous heavy metals that would make us very sick if it was put back into our water table.
No, I'm not out to get the gas drillers... on the contrary. I too, like see commerce and jobs our area... but they are going to frack our beautiful area they better be following all the rules and regs set by the SRBC, DEP, and PGC, DCNR, OSM, and PGC. Right now, nothing horrible has happened. However the state agencies will not be proactive help us hunters/anglers with pollution and problems... until something happens... then it's just reactionary. Together, let's make sure nothing happens. Be observant and not place your heads in the sand.
Thanks.
