Berks Gas Truth has focused its efforts on a provision that allows road spreading of radioactive drilling waste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, the letter we submitted signed by thousands of organizations and individuals helped prompt the House Environmental Resources and Energy committee to remove the provision from last session&#8217;s version of the bill, SB 790.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, the bill is back and worse than before because the road spreading has been expanded from unpaved to both paved and unpaved roads.  This year&#8217;s version is HB 1144. The good news is that it hasn&#8217;t come to a vote yet. The bad news is that our government is determined to do the conventional drillers&#8217; will by continuing to press for something that was already banned by the state once because of how dangerous it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/gastruth.org\/?p=2818\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/gastruth.org\/?p=2818\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release<\/a> on the delivery of our updated letter and stay tuned for more actions should the bill move. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pennsylvania legislature has reintroduced a version of the bill that rolls back rules for conventional drillers.
