Secretary Huffman Appoints Task Force To Study Marcellus Drilling

DEP Secretary Randy Huffman has appointed a commission to advise him with regard to Marcellus Shale development in West Virginia. You can read the Daily Mail/AP report about the commission and Secretary Huffman's appointments here.

Marcellus Shale is a hot topic in West Virginia, but not quite the battleground that it is in Pennsylvania. There they have had total dissolved solids problems in some state streams, somerimes as a result of drillling activities, but TDS from drilling activities hasn't been a problem in West Virginia, because discharges of produced water to state streams is generally forbidden.
