In keeping with our Guiding Principles and Recommended Practices, this industry is committed to conducting operations in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of all Pennsylvanians. Our state’s extensive regulatory system, with which our operators comply through every step of the process, also ensures our environment—water, air and land—and public health and safety are protected.

Our industry takes the protection of our environment and surroundings seriously. After all, the men and women who work to develop the Marcellus Shale are the same men and women who live and raise their families in these communities.
