Marcellus Bill Advances ~ Help Keep It Moving
This is a critical time in the Legislature for moving bills to regulate Marcellus gas drilling. Your delegates and senators need to hear from you. They need to know that plenty of their citizens all over the state are concerned that the "gas rush" must be done safely and responsibly.
We have already waited too long to enact adequate measures to protect the people and the state.
The bottom line is that citizens have worked with legislators and the DEP for two years to protect our water and we can't wait another year with no protection.
Please call or email your West Virginia state senators and delegate asking them to support strong protections in the bill. If you can do it, calling is more effective.
You can also send messages directly to the Senators and Delegate in your district at

Here’s the overall picture:
House Judiciary Committee and Senate Energy, Industry and Mining Committee are both meeting tomorrow, Wednesday Feb. 23 to work on Marcellus regulations, so it’s crucial to contact them first. House Finance Committee will be meeting later in the week to consider Marcellus regulations.
