I just got back from NW PA and drilling in W NY and N PA is on going. But there is a huge problem with obtaining enough water and an even bigger issue of where to dispose of water. It is clear to me that both states desperately need to create pooling, create disposal rules, and agressively enforce them. Otherwise, there is going to be a huge mess up there.  Already a number of companies have been fined over allowing improper disposal...trying to dump in local municipal waste systems that are not designed to handle salty water...
