Tell Gov Wolf: Clean up fracking and get DEP to defend Pennsylvanians, not frackers

Pennsylvania's Attorney General Josh Shapiro recently released a scathing report about the fracking industry putting the public health of local Pennsylvanians at risk and strong arming property owners into fracking. The report also showed that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection "repeatedly failed to exercise their duties and responsibilities" to protect the public from fracking.

Tell Governor Wolf to enact meaningful health protections against fracking.

Subject: Protect Pennsylvanians from fracking

Your Letter:

The Attorney General’s recent investigation into PA-DEP makes clear what we’ve been afraid of: some Pennsylvania leaders are too cozy with the fracking industry and have neglected their duty to uphold our constitutional rights to clean air and pure water.
 
I urge your administration to implement the Attorney General's recommendations, including:

- Expanding no-drill zones in Pennsylvania from the required 500 feet to 2,500 feet
 - Requiring fracking companies to publicly disclose all chemicals used in drilling and hydraulic fracturing before they are used on-site
 - Requiring the regulation of gathering lines, used to transport unconventional gas hundreds of miles
 - Adding up all sources of air pollution in a given area to accurately assess air quality
 - Requiring safer transport of the contaminated waste created from fracking sites
 - Conducting a comprehensive health response to the effects of living near unconventional drilling sites
 - Limiting the ability of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection employees to be employed in the private sector immediately after leaving the Department
 - Allowing the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General original criminal jurisdiction over unconventional oil and gas companies
