PA DEP Proposes Legislative Changes

According to the Hazleton Standard Speaker, "The Department of Environmental Protection is recommending a major overhaul of the state Oil and Gas Act with stronger buffer zones to keep natural gas drilling away from water sources, tougher penalties and bond requirements and a 'cradle-to-grave' manifest system to track wastewater from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking."  This is from a letter to the Governor's Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission.

Interesting.
