Across the Marcellus Shale portions of Pennsylvania, there is a lot of acreage potentially available for deep well drilling. Certain sites may be more at- tractive to drillers, but no single site is essential. According to Baker, people should not be forced by state law to accept drilling beneath their property if they do not want it. Such a requirement is not right, Baker says, is not necessary and is not acceptable. “There are a variety of good reasons why an individual or a family would choose not to sign a lease and we should respect those decisions,” Baker said. “The economic interests of gas drilling do not override the fun- damental rights of property owners. There is no public pur- pose that could justify taking people’s property rights.” Baker feels that, under a sys- tem of forced pooling, only the gas companies win. She further states that there is a misconcep- tion that this change in law would adversely affect just the property owners who do not want to lease their lands. By giv- ing the companies the ability to compel some instead of having to negotiate with all, Baker says, forced pooling would diminish the value of leases for every property holder. Baker would prefer that Penn- sylvania decide the question of imposing a severance tax on its merits, without trading away people’s rights. GDAC plans informal meeting The Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition (GDAC) will host an informational meeting for all in- terested residents of Dallas and other communities at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 11, at the Dal- las United Methodist church, Parsonage Street. The evening will include a presentation by Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition founder Dr. Thomas Jiunta and a ques- tion and answer session. Infor- mational materials will be avail- able. The event is free and open to the public. “We organized this meeting at the behest of the Dallas Township supervisors who indi- cated that they needed more in- formation about gas pipeline and gas drilling in their commu- nity,” said Jiunta. “We appre- ciate their openness to this im- portant issue, which has the po- tential to forever change the landscape of our beautiful home.” The Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition consists of Luzerne County citizens concerned about horizontal fracturing, called fracking. The goal of GDAC is to protect local com- munities and the environment. For more information, log on- to www.gdacoalition.org or email gdacoaltion@gmail.com.
