New Shale Permits Report Delayed Due to PA DEP Computer Problem

Each week MDN brings you a report of new permits to drill shale wells issued during the previous week for Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Last Wednesday MDN noticed a problem with the PA Dept. of Environmental Protection's reporting website that prevented us from harvesting data and delivering our weekly report. We alerted the DEP to the issue. Their problem is much larger than just oil and gas reporting. It extends to several other systems as well, including the ability for drillers to upload required reports. When will it be fixed?
