Group hosting gas drilling program SHOHOLA — Drilling for gas deep within the Marcellus shale formations in Pennsylvania and Pike County can provide economic benefits to landowners and the United States, but is potentially destructive to our environment. Past experience has proven that many problems can arise. These problems include contamination of our water resources and possible health risks to both workers and residents near gas well sites. On Saturday, June 12, the Twin/Walker Creeks Watershed Conservancy will be hosting an educational meeting on Marcellus Shale - “Natural Gas Drilling: the Good, Bad and the Ugly” at the Walker Lake Clubhouse at 10 a.m. Pike County and the Twin/Walker Creeks Watershed are located on the Marcellus shale deposits into which drilling (fracking) may occur. For more information, contact the Twin/Walker Creeks Watershed Conservancy at 570-296-6482.
