Laurie Barr Asks For Your Signature on Letter To Governor Shapiro
Hello All , I’m messaging you today to ask you to sign onto a letter to Governor Shapiro regarding an application to convert an old gas well into a Class ll-D (oil and gas wastewater) injection well.
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the department has refused to publish a notice of the injection well application in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, make the application available to the public for review on the department’s website, hold a public comment period and more.
Injection wells pose significant threats on the environment and water resources.
The site of the proposed injection well is situated in a rural area of Clara Township, Potter County, PA. It’s located in the Upper Allegheny River watershed, a watershed many downstream communities (including the city of Pittsburgh) depend on for their water supplies.
Please take a few moments to read, sign and share the letter to Governor Shapiro:
