Gas drilling rig accidents and injury are obvious concerns in the gas drilling business.  Water pollution has also become a major concern.  Now reports are out that smog and air pollution may be greater concerns as the number of gas drilling rigs increase throughout Pennsylvania.  DLP continues to monitor this and other issues in the gas drilling rig industry while representing victims of gas drilling rig accidents, truck accidents and other accidents throughout NEPA and Central Pennsylvania.

The DEP recently announced that drilling companies have voluntarily agree to stop discharging wastewater into the river systems in Pennsylvania.  Environmental advocates had raised serious concerns with water pollution over the past several months.  Wastewater will be shipped off site and disposed of by state of the art methods.
