In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

The Magnificent Susquehanna Comes In First: Most Endangered River
![]() |
| My grandson fishing in the Susquehanna in 2009 |
My family has gathered every summer on the banks of the Susquehanna River as it flows past French Azilum in Bradford County, PA. Since 1930, we have enjoyed the river- swimming, boating, tubing, fishing, picnicking, skipping stones. We stand to lose a lot. It's a personal issue with us.

Save the mighty Susquehanna!
Stop the drilling!

Air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, they all come with the territory. Welcome to an industrial zone, aka a sacrifice zone, because every single gas well site has the potential to becomes superfund site after all is said and done. Remember Love Canal?
