looks like someone wants to do some marcellus drilling within the city limits of pittsburgh!! saw on the news that council is hoping to pass a moratorium on it! had to laugh.
hell, why not drill there? nothing to really screw up that hasn't been already screwed up. no pristine waterways to mess up, no beautiful landscape to destroy. nobody's water well to ruin.
drill in the city, at the mall, along the suburbanite strips.
not in my backyard!!!! ha ha ha ha!!

Although the Monongahela River was nearly dead in the 1960s it has improved to the point of supporting over 70 species of fish, including a much-improved sauger and smallmouth bass fishery.

In October 2008, PADEP biologists first observed elevated conductivity readings and total dissolved solids (TDS) values at several locations on the Monongahela River. They later found that several wastewater treatment plants along the river were accepting contaminated frac-flowback water from Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling operations. Unable to completely treat this water, plant outflows caused the spikes in the conductivity and TDS readings.
