The leases were for up to 32,000 acres of land in Cameron, Potter, Tioga, Clinton and Clearfield counties. The land is located in State Forests including Sproul, Elk, Tioga and Susquehannock.

According to the DCNR the leases will generate at least $125 million in additional revenues for the State coffers. The leases will also help create jobs. State environmental groups have raised serious concerns over the leases, but DCNR is confident that a balance has been struck addressing all issues.

The new regulations are designed to improve safety and protect underground water supplies.  Additionally, DEP will hire 68 new inspectors to police water supplies surrounding gas drilling sites. The new regulations will require quarterly inspections of drill sites, mandate construction of wells using oil-field grade cement, spell out requirements for replacement of water, establish procedures for early detection of “gas migration” problems and require operators to notify local authorities and DEP immediately of any gas drilling related problems.
