EMAIL MEGAS DRILLING IN PROGRESS IN OUR AREA
Source: State Representative Mike Hanna’s Special Report
The Clinton County Gas Task Force reports approximately 41 wells drilled in Clinton County. Among those wells, Anadarko has 22 wells operating in Clinton County, with several others drilled and waiting to go into operation. In total, Anadarko produces 43 million cubic feet of natural gas per day at it’s rigs in Clinton, Lycoming and Centre Counties. Range Resources has 3 wells operating in Clinton County. XTO is planning 2 wells in the Spring.
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
Without a doubt local roads are impacted by the increased truck traffic associated with the natural gas industry. However, the gas companies are required by state law to be bonded and pay for any damage to our roads. It is important to note that tax dollars are not used for these road improvements or repairs. In fact, in many cases the gas companies have paid to make improvements to the roads they are using even before drilling has begun. Anadarko officials reported that they have spent $15 million to date on road improvements in the Clinton/Centre/Lycoming areas. Most of that money has been spent to improve Rt. 144 and 44. Range Resources officials reported spending more than $20 million for road improvements in PA including a joint project on Rt. 664 total more than $1 million. PennDOT oversees all repairs & improvements to make sure they are in compliance with state regulations. State officials also inspect and monitor roads daily to make sure damages are noted, repaired and action can be taken to ensure the safety of motorists.
Residents are encouraged to report damages to local PennDOT offices. The number is 570-726-2200 in Clinton County &
570-368-4281 in Lycoming County.
