The Commonwealth of Virginia is facing its first Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling with a recent application in Rockingham County. This process requires a technique called hydrofracturing which involves the injection of high volumes of water, sand, and chemicals. Marcellus Drill deep into the ground to breakdown rock formations and release natural gas. There are unknown and unintended consequences of this technology, including potential contamination of ground and surface water.

I heard through the grapevine that Supervisor Pablo Cuevas remarked that this presentation was highly exaggerated about the impacts. If he truly believes that then I take it that when the board of supervisors revisits this issue they will vote yes on the permit. Are there Potential lease pending in my community that I don't know about? I know plenty of neighbors that will not sign a lease and some I hear are not happy that they did. Kill The Drill
