New York Moratorium - what is this doing to residents?

A friend of mine posted this on another forum and it says so much. As a NY landowner in the marcellus region, her family is suffering from long-term lack of work along with questionable property values and higher tax assessment due to the presence of gas. But they still cannot access their gas or even negotiate a reasonable gas lease because of regulatory uncertainty

.

until we know if and when we will be able to access our gas

Baseline Water Testing for Northeastern PA - a different Tiered Approach for Private Well Owners

This is a list of parameter for wells outside the 1000 foot radius around a well and not along a horizontal leg. I do not agree with the standard 3-Tiered approach and I am providing this as an alternative.



Testing Package # 1

This package is recommended as a screening for post gas development or screening for wells that are not a long a major roadway or areas that have not been leased. …

On Water... The Trucking Dilemma

So we have talked a lot here about the specifics of water treatment and how this is done, but one area that I think all of us can agree is the volume of water trucks on the road. I was recently in Greene County PA at a well site and was stuck behind a huge convoy of tankers bringing water to a frac job. I could see the obvious inconvenience and damage that these trucks can do to a community, but oddly enough the efforts to reduce/eliminate them has been fought by ... you guessed it, the… Continue

Fracking Moratorium till may of 2011!

I encourage everyone to contact the NYS assembly members in your area ( call-write-email-harass-) Tell them NOT to pass this job-killing moratorium that flew by in NYS senate. How many more jobs is NYS politicians keeping away from those unemployed folks? The comical part of this sad story is- it takes NYS 3hrs to watch 60 min! How in hell are they going to study MORE enviromental issues in 10 months? They have had years to check the facts! With this failing economy, high taxes, no cuts… Continue

Natural Gas Drilling: How it’s potentially influencing our vineyards

The Lake Erie Regions of Pennsylvania and Ohio and the Finger Lakes

of New York are blessed with beautiful scenery, rich soils, plentiful

water and excellent climates for grape growing and wine production.

Grapes are not the only thing that grows well in these areas. Orchards,

fruit farms and livestock are plentiful too. For wine lovers, like me,

they are a get away, a place to escape to for a weekend to enjoy the

beautiful scenery, fantastic food and plentiful… Continue

Fictionalizing the Facts: Fox’s Flaming Faucets

By Peter Wynne

The Hancock (N.Y.) Herald

July 14, 2010

If you watch Josh Fox in his movie “Gasland,” listen to the narration he wrote and read some of the interviews he’s giving to the media, you’ll likely be convinced he was born among the green hills of Wayne County, Pa., and grew up in a little house on a dirt road in the middle of the woods. More than that, the house was built by his parents, who taught him his first word,… Continue

On Water... The Red Herring

I thought I would take time this week to discuss the red herrings that have been used to divert our attention from the important things going on in the Marcellus Shale and hydraulic fracturing in particular. As you know, the definition of "red herring" is something used to divert attention from a person or organization's actual goals.


The Gasland fiction that premiered last week was effectively debunked here and on a number of web sites YET I did not see this once in the…
