Anti-Shale Group to Hold Presser Outside Muskingum Watershed Mtg

For more than a decade, MDN has brought you stories about shale development on and under land controlled by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), an agency formed in 1933 to help control flooding and promote water conservation in the Muskingum River watershed area of Ohio, an area that covers 8,000 square miles (see our Muskingum Watershed stories here). Over the years, MWCD has leased tens of thousands of acres for Utica Shale drilling and cut deals to sell water to drillers for fracking. It has been one of the biggest success stories in the Buckeye State in the last decade, generating more than $1 billion in economic stimulus (see Muskingum Watershed Generated $1B in Econ Impact from Utica Drilling). Yet anti-fossil fuelers are *still* trying to shut down this success story!
