Cheers and clapping filled the county council meeting room on the first floor of the courthouse after the three members of the board, Chairman Larry Newman, Anthony Palischak and William Harris, declined to approve UGI Energy Services Inc.s application for a special exception to construct a utility building and yard. Solicitor Stephen Menn said the board members could not comment on the reason for the denial because UGI may appeal the decision. UGI now has 30 days to appeal to county court. UGI sought zoning approval to build the compressor station at a site off North Ridge Lane beyond Fire Cut Road, just across the Kingston Township border. The station would have pressurized natural gas coming from wells in the northeast counties of Pennsylvania. UGI intended for the gas to be distributed through the Transco interstate pipeline and connect to an existing system to customers in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area. UGI representatives said the compressor station would comply with or exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for emissions. UGI said the project would bring lower-cost natural gas from within the state to local customers. But opponents said any emissions are too many. At a county zoning board public hearing Aug. 8, opponents voiced concerns including health effects, quality-of-life issues like traffic and dust, and the potential to affect property values. Ray Gustave of West Wyoming took issue with UGI defining the site as remote, saying it is 1½ miles from the populated area and 2 miles from the center of town.

A natural gas company that is drilling in the area had been supplying the homes with fresh drinking water, but the company has stopped, saying the communitys well water is safe. So many people disagree, however, that fresh water supplies are now starting to come in from some unlikely sources. A water truck from the city of Binghamton, New York showed up on Carter Road in Dimock Monday to deliver water. The mayor of Binghamton heard about Cabot Oil and Gas stopping water deliveries and said he wanted to help, and thats not the only out-of-stater getting involved in this situation. Its certainly not the Binghamton city streets this crew is used to. A water truck from the city 33 miles to the north was making its way from home to home along Carter Road near Dimock delivering water. That is what Cabot Oil and Gas was doing up until last Wednesday when the the state DEP said it no longer had to deliver water to residents on the road. I used what we had sparingly. Were just at the bottom now. If it didnt come today, I was out of water, said Carter Road resident Ray Hubert. Binghamtons mayor, an environmental lawyer, said this is just one community helping a neighbor, but Carter Road has become a national symbol for environmental groups. People there have been in a dispute with Cabot for three years. They said drilling contaminated their wells. Cabot said it didnt. Cabot said it has done the work to make well water there safe. DEP doesnt want a drink, EPA doesnt want a drink. Nobody wants a drink of it but they say I can. Hows that make sense, huh? Hubert asked. Other municipalities in New York state also said they are considering sending water trucks to Dimock. There are environmental groups lining up too, to help the people there get their water. No doubt the people up there treat us better than my own neighbors, thats sad to say, said Carter Road resident Craig Sautner. The water truck came to the Sautners house too. Another one is coming Tuesday. Celebrities and politicians are sending that one from New York City. The Sautners are heading to be part of that media event in the Big Apple. Right now, New York state is considering lifting a ban on gas drilling. The New Yorkers, they havent had any problems yet. They realize whats going on here. They come down and want to help us. We appreciate it, said Julie Sautner. The Sierra Club paid for Binghamtons water delivery Monday to avoid any legal obstacles involved in one municipality delivering water to another. Some Carter Road residents think Dimock Township supervisors tried to obstruct that. Supervisors said they did not. At a packed meeting Monday night, the township supervisors voted unanimously to not request mutual aid for water delivery. Most people who spoke at the meeting were against having water delivered from other municipalities. It has nothing to do with us, we all have private wells in Dimock Township and we have nothing to do with where they get their water delivered. We all pay our taxes, said Lettie Ellis of DImock Township. The mayor of Binghamton was at the township meeting. After the meeting, he promised some residents to continue trying to help.

Employed in combination with improved techniques for drilling horizontally through selected rock layers, fracking has opened up vast natural gas deposits in the United States and elsewhere. At the same time, the rapid rise of the practice, frequently in regions with no history of intensive oil and gas drilling, has raised concerns over its economic and environmental consequences.
