PITTSBURGH (AP) — A new scientific study on natural gas
drilling and Pennsylvania waterways has found that old-fashioned
erosion, not toxic chemical spills, appears to be more of a cause for
concern.
The peer-reviewed study published Monday took a statewide
look at surface water impacts from the drilling boom. It found some
good news and some reasons for concern.
Lead author Sheila
Olmstead says the research didn't find evidence of significant chemical
spills from drill sites, but it did note a 5 percent increase in
suspended solids in downstream waterways. It also found a 10 percent
increase in chloride levels downstream from plants that handle drilling
wastewater.
Olmstead is with Resources for the Future, a Washington D.C. non-profit.
The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences.
