Educational Meeting on Marcellus Shale Drilling This Thursday, August 1

If you missed the WV Chapter of the Sierra Club's recent Marcellus Academy, there will be an opportunity hear from some of the presenters at an informational meeting later this week in Gilmer County.  The meeting is Thursday, August 1 at 6:30 PM at Normantown Elementary School in Normantown.  Speakers and topics to be discussed include Bill Hughes of the Wetzel County Action Group with a primer on all the big trucks and heavy equipment on our roads -- what they are, what they do and what drilling phase is happening when certain trucks and equipment arrive at a well site truck and equipment primer; Diane Pitcock of the WV Host Farms Program with a “Fracking 101” presentation and what to expect when drilling starts nearby, and members of the Doddridge County Watershed Association on how to start a watershed group in your area. Julie Archer of WV-CAG and the WV Surface Owners' Rights Organization (WV-SORO) will also be there with information and resources. The meeting has been organized by local WV-SORO members and concerned citizens of Gilmer County.
