Groups Urge 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 along with environmental and health organizations are calling on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's administration to increase the minimum setback distance for shale gas wells from homes and schools. The current requirement of 500 feet, they argue, is not enough to protect residents from pollution and health risks. They want the state to adopt larger buffer zones between drilling operations and communities.
Why now: Advocates are pushing the Shapiro administration to revise shale gas drilling setback rules that they consider too weak to protect public health.
