Second PA Town Declares Disaster Emergency re EQT Frac-Out

Last week, MDN brought you the news that Freeport Township, located in Greene County, PA, declared a Disaster Emergency on June 23, 2025 (see Freeport Twp (PA) Declares Disaster Emergency re EQT Frac-Out). The emergency is related to a “frac-out” at the EQT Lumber well that happened three years ago, in July 2022 (see Possible Frac-Out Reported at EQT Well Site in Greene County, PA). Now comes word that a second township that neighbors Freeport, Springhill, has also officially declared a Disaster Emergency for the same reason. Springhill's declaration happened on August 7.
