Mr. Crusty-- this happened in 9/09---it's been a while -- and I've met the owner of the property -- and he hasn't had me arrested--the spill was on an adjoining property to the well pad-- and the owner of that property wanted it cleaned up--

I know you are doing your best in your job from what you say--- but there are dozens of families in our county that can't use their water and they have test results that show the water was good before--dozens of families with water buffaloes and methane stacks on their water wells-- I've seen it-- go to Paradise Rd. in Terry Township, Bradford Co.-- and see the newer, expensive homes that can't use their water and have methane stacks--lawsuits in several counties now against the gas cos.--

Oh hey i ride my dirtbike up that pipeline! I take special care to throw roost at workers and trucks. 3rd gear does nicely, roost the size of golf balls can take out windows and dent doors. Happy riding in Dimock!

better to be peaceful about it; not hurting anyone; do what you can to see where there may be violations and let me/us know; and we can call the DEP and media and get it resolved; we have a group called "Citizens for Clean Water" and its a watch group; checking out sites and see if there are problems; plenty of media have visited the past weeks and reporting the problems; thanks, for your interest.

I would think if one is going to make claims they would make sure they know what they are talking about. I whole heartily understand these people being concerned about their land. But every comment they make is just pulling from the hip and not fact based. Further more look up Bentonite it comes from the earth. It is just a fancy name for dirt Most of it comes out of Wy. So get educated before you fire of at the mouth. BTW you sure loving using a energy source that you hate so much.

@maryfrances12 The problem here Mary is that these people are using the gas operation as a scapegoat... the water in the area was spoiled BEFORE they arrived. Apparently the newspapers in the area have stories on that long before the gas company showed up. Gee... highly acidic metalic soil... ya think the water had problems BEFORE the gas company showed up? Naaa... we can't sue the planet for bad water now can we?
