"The state Department of Environmental Protection is reviewing permit applications associated with at least 12 different proposals to build treatment plants for chemical-tainted wastewater from natural gas drilling operations in northern Pennsylvania. Ten of the plants are proposed in DEP's 14-county north-central region, which is centered on Lycoming and Clinton counties. Mel Zimmerman, a professor of biology at Lycoming College and director of its Clean Water Institute, said the flurry of permit applications is evidence of the boom in gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale region of northern Pennsylvania."
