Compressor Stations In Our Backyards?

A leader in the fight against the anti-health, anti-environment, anti-people, greed-filled gas industry speaks at a DEP Public Meeting at Elk Lake School in Susquehanna County.  She and others testified about our concerns. Four more Gas Compressors are coming to Susquehanna County in the north along the Laser Gathering Line. Tons of emissions are allowed for each and constant noise emissions. Taped 4-26-12.

We cannot allow Big Gas to pollute our residential areas.  Gas drilling is unhealthy for children and other living things.

Thank you, Vera, for your work to save Pennsylvania and all areas being destroyed by Big Gas.

Our Family Home in Bradford County, PA, Is Class One for Pipelines

My family owns summer property in Bradford County, PA, right on the Susquehanna River, our beloved river.  Pipelines to service the invasion of the natural gas industry will soon cover our neighborhood like a bad spider web.  We are considered "Class One."  That means it is an area with fewer than ten homes within 220 yards on either side of the pipeline in a sliding mile.  A Class One area is UNREGULATED, meaning exactly what it sounds like: no state, federal, or local laws apply, no authority has jurisdiction and no one can levy or enforce safety or any other measures.

Well, I guess we are pretty much scr#@&*!   At the present time, according to a Rocket-Courier report, there are no setbacks required for pipelines from homes, play areas, or property lines.  A Mehoopany resident claims that, in addition, pipelines will not run along roadways and through center of towns, but rather be sited through fields and backyards.

CLASS ONE MEANS NO PIPELINE REGULATION!

RURAL AREAS BEWARE!
