Asaph Run in Tioga State Forest (Tioga County, PA)
According to anti-drilling activists, drillers don't care a whit about people or the environment. They go so far as to declare that shale drilling is an environmental disaster everywhere it's done. While ALL forms of energy have their negatives, including negative impacts on the environment (wind and solar are some of the worst), shale drillers make an effort to minimize their impacts. At least, the good ones do! And it's been our observation that the vast majority of drillers in the Marcellus/Utica are good environmental stewards. We have an example: Seneca Resources. The company successfully completed the first phase of a voluntary invasive species treatment project along Asaph Run in Tioga State Forest (Tioga County, PA). Partnering with the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), the initiative aims to restore native plant species, enhance streambank stability, and improve public recreational spaces.
