PA State Sen. Muth Tries to Block Shale Drilling Via Landfill Ban

Pennsylvania State Senator Katie Muth (Democrat from Berks, Chester, and Montgomery counties) is clever and dedicated in her mission to halt shale drilling in the Keystone State. We've written plenty about Muth over the years (see our stories here). She's attempted to block shale wastewater treatment facilities from getting built. She has a new target: To block shale cuttings---the leftover rock and dirt from drilling a hole in the ground---from being disposed of at landfills. Her approach is to block it based on leachate that comes from landfills.
