Well was drilled in 2009. Read more here. No response requested.
So far in 2025, DEP issued 39 violations to 10 shale gas drilling companies for abandoning and not plugging their well, most drilled in the early days of shale gas development in Pennsylvania-- 2009 to 2013. Read more here.

So when this industry and its drilling took off in the late otss, you know, 2009, 2010, we were sort of in the right place at the right time. And also a disposing of the waste stream. Further, agencies should appropriately classify waste streams based on the toxics they contain. Then drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
Natural gas development has added compressor stations, pig launchers/receivers to clean out pipelines, cryogenic/fractionation plants, cracker plants, injection wells, residual waste storage tanks and impoundments as well as frack water and freshwater impoundments, metering stations and miles of gas pipelines throughout rural Pennsylvania.
This contamination led to multiple Dimock residents suffering from impacts to their own personal water supplies, including the explosion of Norma Fiorentino’s drinking water well in January 2009.

IRA clean energy investments also will protect public health by cutting key toxic airpollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, by more than 50 percent by 2050, and drastically reduce fine particulate matter, which will save hundreds of billions of dollars in 2035 alone from avoided premature deaths.
These associations can be attributed to the environmental impacts of fracking, including airpollution, water contamination, noise, traffic, and community impacts." So these are all problems that are known to be related to exposure to toxic airpollution. But after 2009, the trends began to diverge.
DEP also issued violations for failing to submit production and waste generation and well integrity reports. Violations were also issued for failing to submit production and waste generation and mechanical integrity reports. and found them to be abandoned and not plugged.

Coal also emits other airpollution factors such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter… All this causes smog and soot which in turn cause asthma, cancers of all sorts, cardiovascular diseases… Which brings us to its health effects: coal is a mass murderer and is responsible for immense suffering.
From Mount Everest to the deepest oceans, vast amounts of plastic waste contaminate the entire planet. We inhale or ingest tiny, invisible plastic fibers floating in the air around us, fibers shed by our own clothes, carpets, and upholstery, etc. We recycle the plastic waste chemically back into its original monomers.
It creates extensive infrastructure in multiple stages and sites, and produces large amounts of liquid and solid waste. So when this industry and its drilling took off in the late otss, you know, 2009, 2010, we were sort of in the right place at the right time. And also a disposing of the waste stream. So the first is equity.
The company first attracted global attention when it was caught dumping 3,000 tons of toxic mercury-laden waste in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, that originated at a PVC plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. James successfully sued to subject Formosa to an environmental review over the 800 tons of toxic airpollutants as well as the 13.6

Dismantling the EPA The Blueprint would institute a major reorganization at the EPA that would slash full time positions, cut entire departments and programs deemed “duplicative, wasteful or superfluous.” For one thing, many regulatory functions are delegated to the state, tribal, and local levels. 107 million symptomatic asthma incidents.
