the problem with the water is you guys take it to the sewer plant for processing and discharge, and they cannot remove the minerals and whatnot in it that came up from 10K below before dumping it back into the rivers.  This is a problem with PA which has rather weak water safety regulations.  So this whole argument about frac fluids, contamination of flow back water etc. misses the point...it's not going to contaminate a leaseholder's land directly, unless the casing is poorly done or there is a spill...it's what happens at the water treatment end at the state level.  Youa re discharging in accordance with PA law, it's just that PA has poor standards.

Gary,
I have not heard that and I follow the shale play pretty close. However, it does seem unlikely, but nothing would surprise me.

If you look at EMapPa, there are active sites to the east of Dimock Township that are not involved with the drilling restriction.

How is fiasco in Dimock going to affect lease holders with Cabot to the east?

Here is the resolution of the Dimock, Pa water issue:

Cabot Oil & Gas (NYSE: COG) ("Cabot") and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ("PADEP") reached agreement on modifications to the Consent Order previously entered on November 4, 2009 concerning certain environmental issues including alleged methane contamination of 14 water wells ..........

Jackson Valley Pottery - I know where that was...lol. My Father had a place right next to SGL 140 up the road from Jackson Valley Pottery. I have a place about 10 mins away in Bradford County near LeRaysville.... reading up on the Shale doings next door.

Hey Tina, Are you by the well that was at 706 and 858? I am wondering what is life like very close to a drill site? I am really nervous I may have one in my backyard.

Here's another one for the group.. Has anyone said "NO" to seismic testing? Specifically, can lack of the seismic recon discourage a company from drilling in an area?

Yes. There is a pad under contruction on the Mike Evans farm which is on State Game Land Road about one mile away from me. PGS is getting ready to do sesmic testing in our area now. Myself and a neighbor signed a non-surface only lease with Alta. There is a 26 acre parcel between us and at the time the owner was not interested in signing any type of lease. We recently found out he signed a full lease. I am really concerned now that they may want to put a well on his property. It may just make sense for Alta. They have the well on Mike's and would go righ up to the SGL 140. Cabot also has the properties to our rear, so it would put Alta in a good position. We have not agreed to seismic testing yet. I want to speak to our Attorney again before we do anything.
