Fact Sheet on Act 13 – Pa’s Dirty New Drilling Law

Sierra Club Releases Drill Act Mythbuster Fact Sheet

 

The Mad Rush to Drill Act Mythbuster Factsheet from Pa Sierra Club is designed to not only discredit industry talking points, but also cite specific pieces of the law that promote dangerous fracking practices that threaten human health and the environment.
“As the industry looks to begin fracking in other states it is important for everyone to know what is happening in Pennsylvania,” said Deb Nardone, Director of Sierra Club’s Natural Gas Reform Campaign. “This new law shows how deep industry claws are dug into Pennsylvania. The PA mythbuster resource provides the facts that every state with potential for fracking should read before they let this dangerous industry take control.”
“Pennsylvanians deserve to know the truth about what the future of the state will look like with this fracking law in place,” said Jeff Schmidt, Director of Sierra Club’s Pennsylvania Chapter. “The gas industry and the law’s supporters like to make claims that it promotes safe and responsible drilling but the text of the law shows the very opposite. This resource gives the public the facts they need to fight back against this terrible law and protect the health of our communities and environment from fracking.”
The Mad Rush to Drill Act Mythbuster Factsheet provides the truth on fracking fluid disclosure requirements, municipal rights, setbacks of fracking from houses and many others. Take a look at the fact sheet here by clicking here.
