Citizens Unite - Compile Your Water Quality Data - PA NEEDS YOUR Help

Citizens - there are more private wells than public water supplies in Pennsylvania.  In many regions, the natural gas companies have conducted baseline testing and have returned the data to you.  The problem is that the industry has the data and can easily compile, but for citizens they are lacking an explanation of the data and it is not being compiled.  We need to work together to protect our groundwater and surfacewater resources.

To help - send NO Money - All that is being asked is as follows:

1. Send a copy of your water quality data or host a community meeting where the water quality data could be compiled.  To request a community meeting - email brian.oram@wilkes.edu or bfenviro@ptd.net.
Please put Citizen Database in Subject.

2. Release the data to the Citizens Groundwater / Surfacewater Database at Wilkes University.  Here is the information sheet.
3. Email the information to the addresses above or send a hardcopy to

Mr. Brian Oram, PG
Citizen Outreach Program
15 Hillcrest Drive
Dallas, PA 18612

4. You get a review of your data for free and you can be sure your data will help track water quality change in the region.

Marcellus Shale and Private Wells - Getting the Waters Tested

It is critical that baseline testing data be conducted and compiled and that private well owners understand the quality of their water.  To help meet this objective, B.F. Environmental Consultants Inc has conducted the following:

1. Worked with Wilkes University to create a booklet on Water Quality
2. Prepared a listing of recommend test parameters and conducting and education outreach program.
3. Working on Compiling a Citizens Groundwater Database with Wilkes University.

We could use your help.  Please consider filling out our online survey related to private wells and marcellus shale.

Thanks

Appreciate your time and interest.
