Let Your Voice Be Heard! Tell W.Va. Legislators What You Would Like to See in Marcellus Shale Legislation

As West Virginia's legislators continues to work on a bill regulating Marcellus Shale development WVRC encourages you to contact members of the legislation and let them know what needs to be included in the final bill. A few of the things WVRC would like to see include:

1. A water withdrawal permit system to protect rivers and streams
2. Enhanced inspection of casing/cementing as critical for groundwater protection
3. Special protections for drilling on public lands and near high-quality streams
4. Public notice and comment period prior to issuing drilling permits
5. Full protection of all water wells, with adequate setbacks and testing
6. Disclosure of frack fluid contents, and tracking of all wastewater disposal, including GPS tracking of wastewater transport trucks
7. Removal and proper disposal of drilling pits
8. Adequate permit fees and bonding amounts
9. Increased funding for more inspectors
