Antis Flood PA DEP Hearing Against Drilling in Loyalsock Forest

In December, MDN told you that three anti-shale drilling groups—the PA Council of Trout Unlimited, the Keystone Trails Association, and the Responsible Drilling Alliance—requested the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) hold a hearing on the Chapter 105 permit requested for a 3.9-mile shale gas access road and staging area proposed by PA General Energy (PGE) in the Loyalsock State Forest (see PA Antis Want DEP Hearing on 3.9-Mile Rd to Shale Pad in Loyalsock). The antis kept up the pressure. The DEP held a virtual public hearing on February 3 regarding PGE's proposal to construct the shale gas access road. The hearing centered on Chapter 105 water quality permits. The PGE plan includes drilling 90 new shale wells in Loyalsock State Forest (Lycoming County).
