WHAT IS HAPPENING?
No public announcement or meeting was made regarding these 11 new fracking wells on a residential road - in fact only a handful of water well dependent families received notice and then objected to what was originally thought to be ONE well.
But both the DEP and PennEnergy have confirmed that not every required permit has been applied for through the DEP, and yet Ridge Road is about to get completely overhauled for ELEVEN new fracking wells. When meeting, DEP/PennEnergy also brought a team of lawyers with them, turned off cameras during the meeting, muting attendees and eliminating critical agenda items, what's that tell you about the level of trust and intentions here?
Residents appealed this decision and asked the DEP hearing board in Harrisburg this Sept in person to hit pause, but we also need to rally Jackson Township to change the ordinance NOW! Now wells aren't new to our region but this RESIDENTIAL NOW and the implication and potential impact is real - whether you're a farmer or a local who's lived here for years, a new family in the townhouse developments or just a concerned citizen or parent with children YOU NEED to KNOW before we say yes. From right of way constructions, thousands of gallons in waste water transport and torn up roads to potential explosions, leaks, water well tables and people getting sick, 11 additional wells would be catastrophic for us, our families and our property values! It's already happened in other neighborhoods, so please help us make it happen here too!
