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.

Arden Landfill, Washington, PA
Click here to see a list of landfills in Pennsylvania that accept Marcellus drilling waste. We just don't have adequate facilities to deal with the vast amount of fracking waste which will need to be disposed of. Landfills leak, and they take up enormous amounts of land which could have been used for food production. These landfills become superfund sites. And what about air pollution? Would anyone care to have one of these nextdoor to a home or school? This fracking waste is radioactive. We are dreaming if we think this will work out well.
