Has had them for YEARS with no royalty payments as of yet. How do we find out if we are OWED for the sites that are active? We are not in WV and have no access to records concerning volumes being produced. There are presently 9 wells on the site operated by several gas companies. We have heard nothing regarding activity on the sites or payments due if any. My husbands family has rights in Marshall county. Has had them for YEARS with no royalty payments as of yet.

One would hope that inspectors from the WV Department of Enviromental Protection would do some investigation after an accident. But, inspectors in WV usually limit their work to routine activities. Plus, WV has a shortage of inspectors. Given the low pay rate approved by the Governor and Legislature, inspectors will be had to find and hard to keep on the job! Mary. That is a good question.

Could it be that they are just dumping frack water on the road? After that a frack truck nearly ran us off the narrow winding road. The trucks routinely drive at high speeds and swing wide on blind curves. About a month ago one of them took out the bridge guard rail at Sycamore and US-19.

Yeah, that's fair. Make local residents pay for the water that outside corporations are STEALING from them. This is West Virginia at it's finest, folks. Seeing as things won't ever change due to state politicians being firmly planted inside the pockets of these corporations and locals being too ignorant to vote them out of office, I strongly encourage you to get out if you can. http://www.wdtv.com/wdtv.cfm?func=view&section=5-News&item=Sun-Valley-PSD-Water-Stolen-from-Fire-Hydrants3210 Gas companies are stealing water right out the hydrants in Harrison County and the local PSD says they’ll have to consider a rate hike if it continues.

If you take a map of the areas where bats are dying(eastern US) and overlay a map of the marcellus shale area(eastern US), there is an almost identical match. This is no coincedence. The bats are being compromised to the extent that their immune systems are unable to fight against the disease that they have not succumb to in these numbers in all their years living with us. Please check the maps and see. It must be from either the gas leaking into to caves or the fracking chemicals leaking into the caves. We dont even know how deep these caves go, they could easily be poisoned by this industry. Futhermore, some of these bats are being considered for the endangered species list. This is important.

The only natural gas fueling station in West Virginia so far belongs to the FBI for their exclusive use: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/progs/ind_state.php/WV/CNG But West Virginia now offers quite large tax credits to individuals and businesses for natural gas fueled vehicles and filling stations: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/laws/laws/WV/tech/3253 Natural gas-fueled cars make a lot more sense to me than burning a corn ethanol and gasoline mix and Natural gas costs about a third as much as gasoline per mile travelled.
