At the Skyview meeting in Morgantown, Bill Hughs of WCAG said that
attempts to have air emissions from aggregated sources from drilling
sites properly monitored under WVDEP's rules have repeatedly
failed. In fact, their lawyers blocked any such requests.
WVDEP's rules need to be changed. An opportunity to request
changes is coming up as shown below.
