CCPaSEC volunteers
A volunteer water monitoring project in Centre County, PA, began in 2010 with an aim to produce a baseline for the health of local streams and waterways in the county (see Increase in Marcellus Shale Drilling in Centre County, PA – Volunteers Keep an Eye on Local Streams). For the past 13 years, the volunteers have kept an eye on the streams because of the upswing in Marcellus Shale drilling activity in the county. If there should be accidents, or if fracking fluid should somehow find its way into local waterways, the data collected by the volunteers would prove a valuable resource for evaluating the environmental impact. What have the dedicated volunteers found? Not one darned thing.
