Drilling Company Cited
March 10, 2009
A company that is drilling for natural gas in the northern tier is being accused of violating state environmental laws.
The Department of Environmental Protection is giving the Houston-based Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation until Friday to respond to a violation notice. DEP said Cabot has polluted more than a dozen water wells while drilling for gas in Susquehanna County. One well near Dimock exploded last month due to a build-up of methane gas in the well, causing problems with several near-by wells.
DEP said Cabot Oil must now come up with a plan to fix the problem. It must also provide drinking water to four homes and put methane detectors in nine other homes.
