Pennsylvania Groups Push Shapiro To Expand Shale Gas Well Setbacks
Original: 500 Feet Isn't Enough! Families, Environmental And Health Groups Call On Shapiro Administration To Increase Minimum Setbacks From Shale Gas Wells To Protect Pennsylvanians
Families, environmental and health groups in Pennsylvania are urging the Shapiro administration to raise the state's minimum setback requirement for shale gas wells, arguing the current 500-foot distance from homes and buildings does not adequately protect residents from health and safety risks. They are calling for larger buffer zones between drilling operations and communities across the state's gas-producing regions.
Why now: Advocacy groups are lobbying the Shapiro administration to tighten shale gas drilling setback rules, drawing attention to public health concerns.
