A Quest to Make Marcellus Roads More Environmentally Friendly
From WPSU-FM | 00:10:12
Marcellus Shale drilling is ripping up roads. The sediment from the roads winds up in streams and ruins the ecosystem. The Center for Dirt and Gravel Road Studies at Penn State is trying to talk drillers into fixing up the roads before they use them. We take a trip to Luzerne County with a guy from the Center to check out a project road they’ve done in conjunction with the drilling company and the local conservation district. This is a long piece done as a semi-character study. The guy the story follows got into this because he’s a big trout fisherman. The sediment really ruins trout fishing, and the Center was actually created by Trout Unlimited which is concerned about the pollution of fishing streams.
