PA: Chesapeake responsible for a brine spill & 3 new contaminations of drinking well water with methane…
The state Department of Environmental Protection is investigating a brine spill that occurred Thursday when a water tanker carrying waste water from a natural gas drilling site rolled over on U.S. Route 187, just north of the Terry Township line in Bradford County.
Earlier this month, methane was found in three private water wells less than a mile away from Chesapeake Energy Corp.’s Dan Ellis natural gas well site in Monroe Township. The violations also occurred in Terry Township.
The contamination came to light on Aug. 4, when a water well top blew off at Earl Sites’ Brocktown Road home. He then successfully lit a gallon of his well water on fire. DEP confirmed the contamination on Aug. 6. Continue reading

353 of the chemicals used to extract gas or found in gas wastes have been identified and among them are known toxins
‘Drilling Isn’t Safe’ campaign launched
Four advocacy organizations, Catskill Citizens For Safe Energy, Catskill Mountainkeeper, Earthjustice and “Gasland” The Movie, have created a joint communications campaign to educate the public about the risks of shale gas extraction using high volume hydraulic fracturing technology or “fracking.” The campaign centers on the theme “Drilling Isn’t Safe.” Billboards, buttons and lawn signs are the first elements of an extensive multi-media program targeting the health risks and other problems New York residents may face if the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation begins issuing drilling permits for hydraulic fracturing. Natural gas development is largely exempt from federal environmental laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act. According to the consortium, at least 353 of the chemicals used to extract gas or found in gas wastes have been identified and among them are known toxins, but 279 remain unknown, as do their effects on human health. The mixtures of chemicals used by gas companies in drilling and fracturing fluids are concealed from the public under industry claims that they are trade secrets. The consortium is strongly committed to preventing drilling under the current circumstances, given scientific data and documented cases that show wherever fracking occurs there is a substantial risk of drinking water contamination, air pollution and severe illness among people and animals.
