Educational/Community Meeting on Oil & Gas Drilling, November 11th at Jackson’s Mill.

Just a quick reminder about tonight’s meeting. Please see the following press release from meeting organizers for speaker information and other details.

Area Group Calls Forum on Fracking and Pipeline Issues
November 11, 2014, 6-8 p.m., Jackson’s Mill Assembly Hall

A multi-county citizen group from the North Central West Virginia area has formed to educate area residents about the challenges associated with hydraulic fracturing and pipeline issues. Landowners and other concerned citizens from Lewis, Upshur, Gilmer, Doddridge, Harrison and Wetzel counties and beyond are expected to attend.

The meeting will feature a panel of expert speakers and individuals whose quality of life and health have been directly affected. Several WV organizations will be represented, including WV Surface Owners’ Rights Organization (WV-SORO), Wetzel County Solid Waste Authority, the WV Host Farms Program, and Doddridge County Watershed Association.

There will be multiple opportunities to ask questions during and after the meeting.

Barbara Volk, a Lewis County landowner and co-organizer of the event explained, “It is important for citizens to know the many challenges associated with the entire process. A couple of months ago, Consol Energy held a forum at Jackson’s Mill, but did not conduct the meeting in a way that allowed for an exchange of information and views. People in attendance felt as if their voices were not being heard. So, we are holding a more democratic forum with expert presenters so that residents can learn about the issues associated with these activities.”

The main presenter will be Bill Hughes of Wetzel County. Hughes is a 36-year resident of Wetzel County. He is a retired electrical contractor who owns 79 acres near New Martinsville, and has worked for Dominion and Consolidated Aluminum.  He has been a member of the board for the Wetzel County Solid Waste Authority for the last 13 years, and been the chairman of that body for the last four.

The presentation by Hughes will focus on the production stages of hydraulic fracturing, including topics of production, waste, contamination, pipelines, and many others.

Jody Mohr, a resident of Salem, WV, will present on water contamination and lifestyle change living near a fracking site. Julie Archer of WV-SORO, will be presenting on landowners’ rights, eminent domain, and leasing information. Diane Pitcock will also discuss the WV Host Farms Program, what it does, and the many benefits for its members.

Attendance is free and open to the public.

Pipeline Update and Meeting Schedule

At the end of October, both EQT and Dominion entered the “pre-filing” process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This means that both of the proposed pipelines, Mountain Valley Pipeline and the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, have been assigned preliminary docket numbers.  The links below are how you can follow each proposed pipeline through the FERC process.

Mountain Valley Pipeline (Preliminary Docket Number PF15-3)
Atlantic Coast Pipeline (Preliminary Docket Number PF15-6-000)

The Greenbrier River Watershed Association is hosting a series of public meetings to provide updates on the proposed pipelines.  Lawyers will be present at several of the meetings to discuss landowner rights and answer questions.  See details below.  For more information or to schedule a meeting in your community, please contact Elise Keaton at 304-647-4792 or email elise@greenbrier.org.

Fracking, With Liberty & Justice For All
Wednesday, March 12, 2014, 6:30 PM, $15

A special screening of investigative documentary Triple Divide and discussion about fracking

PITTSBURGH—Catch a special screening and discussion of Triple Divide, an investigative documentary about the impacts from fracking in Pennsylvania, on March 12th, 6:30 PM at Bricolage. It’s a film about the complex subject of fracking and has been called “a bombshell that could reverberate across the state” by Wilkes-Barre Times Leader.

This debut documentary by journalists Joshua Pribanic and Melissa Troutman reveals how the state’s “world-class regulations” fall short in protecting people, communities, and the environment.  “We wanted to look at what impacts are occurring and how they’re being handled,” says Pribanic. “If the state and industry say fracking’s under control, we wanted to see how. It’s only when we see the evidence that we can cast the stone.”

“Pennsylvania has some of the best environmental laws in the country, but they aren’t being enforced,” says Troutman. “In addition, we’ve found during our investigation that basic freedoms which are supposed to be guaranteed to all Americans are being stripped from communities faced with fracking.”

Academy Award-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo co-narrates the documentary, which is named after the triple continental divide in Potter County, Pennsylvania, one of four unique watersheds in North America where three major rivers begin—including the Allegheny River—and flow to separate parts of the continent.

Discussion with the filmmakers and expert panelists will be moderated by Bill Flanagan, host of “Our Region’s Business” on WPXI-TV. Panelists for discussion include attorney John Smith, who led the case that deemed key provisions of Pennsylvania’s oil and gas law Act 13 unconstitutional, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, engineer John Detwiler, who’s active in the group Marcellus Protest calling for a halt on fossil fuel extraction, and Dr. Kent Moors, director of the Energy Policy Research Group at Duquesne University.

“We believe informed citizens are better citizens”, says Jeffrey Carpenter, artistic director at Bricolage. “With so many critical issues facing our community it’s important that we create a space to ask questions and hear from thought leaders to help broaden perspectives and promote problem-solving. We believe using art as a crowbar to open the door to dialogue can make those conversations easier to begin and less intimidating to participate in.”

“The boom in unconventional gas extraction has created the same debate that we see here in PA in communities around the world,” said Dr. Steven E. Sokol, President and CEO of the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh. “On the one hand, there are proponents of fracking because of the opportunities offered by gas. On the other hand, people are concerned about the environmental and health impacts. This is both a local and a global issue.”

Refreshments will be served before the screening which starts at 6:30 PM. Doors open at 6:00 PM and tickets are $15. The Fifth Wall Series is sponsored by World Affairs Council. For more information call Bricolage at 412-471-0999. For previews of the film see TripleDivideFilm.org.

John Detwiler earned a PhD in engineering and is a Registered Professional Engineer in Pennsylvania.  He is now retired from a career in strategic business consulting and in project management of large-scale engineering works.  As an entrepreneur, he was the co-founder, co-owner and chief operating officer of a privately held engineering company with profit-and-loss responsibility for multi-million dollar capital projects.  Mr. Detwiler has served in many sectors and industries, including:  manufacturing, defense, energy and public utilities, local government, banking and health care.  He is an active member of Marcellus Protest, a citizen group working for a total halt to hydrofracturing of fossil fuel deposits. Marcellus Protest has been a driving force behind the City of Pittsburgh’s ban on fracking and is now part of the campaign to keep oil and gas operations out of Allegheny County Parks.

County Executive Rich Fitzgerald
Rich Fitzgerald grew up in Pittsburgh’s Bloomfield-Garfield neighborhood.  He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a business minor from Carnegie Mellon University.  Rich started a small business, Aquenef, which provides water treatment equipment and services for industry in the Western Pennsylvania region.

Rich worked on the campaign to change the form of government in Allegheny County.  In 1999, he ran for one of the district council seats on the newly-formed County Council and was elected to represent a district that included suburban municipalities and city neighborhoods.  He held the seat for twelve years and was elected as Council President four times before leaving to run for the office of County Executive.
As County Executive, he is focused on economic development of the region and job creation and works with companies on a weekly basis to address the issues that are priorities to them in growing and being supported in the county.  That focus includes making our airport better, ensuring our public transit system is reliable and sustainable, and providing a climate where a skilled workforce is a key component of our growth.  Rich’s interest in making government more effective and efficient began with the consolidation of row offices when he was on Council, has expanded to include a top to bottom review of county departments and functions by the County Manager and direction to make changes to ensure that county government is responsive to taxpayers and protects their interests.

John Smith
Attorney John M. Smith, Esq. is a Partner and Founder of the law firm of Smith Butz located in Southpointe, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Attorney Smith is lead counsel for the local municipalities in the Robinson v. Commonwealth (Act 13) case, where the Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared provisions in the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Act unconstitutional. The Act would have required all zoning districts, including residential to allow drilling and fracking operations as well as waste water impoundments with a minimum setback of 300 feet from homes and schools. Smith focuses his practice on oil and gas, land use, local governments and litigation matters, and he is currently the Solicitor for several municipalities including Peters and Cecil Townships. Attorney Smith is involved with several litigation matters representing clients who have alleged harm from oil and gas activities, including contaminated water. He’s also filed civil actions against the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection alleging the Departments failure to properly enforce Pennsylvania law.

Upcoming Events April 6, 2013 ……..

Pittsburgh Health Summit on Chemical Exposure in Gasfield Communities

Saturday April 6th, 2013,  Conference Time: 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m.

Location:

The Carnegie Science Center
1 Allegheny Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
Google Maps URL: http://goo.gl/maps/xP7UK

Purpose: Recent technological advances in directional drilling and high volume slickwater hydraulic fracturing have stimulated the rapid development of a complex industrial network. In addition to multi-acre well pads, this network includes compressor stations, cryogenic separation plants, crystalline silica sand transfer stations, landfills that accept radioactive drill cuttings, and open impoundments for freshwater, flowback and other hazardous liquids. Incidences of human and animal health impacts from living near these facilities are increasingly documented, principally through the efforts of concerned citizens and community-based action groups.

The Pittsburgh Health Summit will serve to further amplify the voices of people who suffer with symptoms of chemical exposure as they seek protection from air and waterborne contaminants generated by the rapidly expanding shale gas and oil industry. The event will be facilitated by Dr. Gerald Groves.

Registration: There is no cost to attend but registration is required. Lunch and light snacks will be provided.

“Reflections: Homage to Dunkard Creek”

“Reflections: Homage to Dunkard Creek” will be shown February 2nd through February 24th at the Brooks Gallery in Waldman Hall at Fairmont State University, Fairmont, WV 26554.  The previous showing was Dec. 15 through Jan. 25, 2012, at the University of Charleston’s Frankenberger Art Gallery.

The traveling exhibition, two years in the making, features 90 artists from eight states who express their personal experiences and connections to Dunkard Creek. On Sept. 20, 2009, Dunkard Creek, a 43-mile Pennsylvania and West Virginia creek that flows into the Monongahela Watershed, suffered a large scale Golden Algae bloom that devastated the area and its animal life.

After witnessing this event firsthand, Ann Payne, an alumnus of Morris Harvey (UC), felt the need to express what she saw and experienced that day. Over the next two years, she invited other artists who shared a tie to the Dunkard Creek area to collaborate in this exhibition. Each artist was assigned one of the 90 species lost during the algae bloom and given a panel to create a work about that specific species. This exhibition is the product of their collaboration.

An opening reception will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 15 and is free and open to the public.

University of Charleston, Frankenberger Art Gallery, second floor of the Student Union building, 2300 MacCorkle Ave., S.E. Charleston. Call Ray Yeager at 304-357-4387.

Hi Frack Check WVA,

Thanks for the excellent news provided over a long period of time.
I am on the Board of Friends of Nelson http://friendsofnelson.com/

Wish you had a Virginia section. A lot of your info is interesting and pertinent to Virginia especially since the ACP starts in WVA.

Are you a 501(c)3? Do you take donations/contributions.

Thanks for all you do and all the information you provide.
Hope we are both successful!

Ron
