Fracking in Pennsylvania
Overview

The use of hydraulic fracturing has opened up oil and gas resources in many parts of the country where drilling was not previously occurring. These wells are drilled near our homes, schools, and offices -- but information about them is not always readily accessible or publicly available. We need to have better information about the effects of drilling on our health, land and quality of life. Click on the map icons to learn more about the wells in our communities.
