The Commission was tasked with assessing the impacts, both positive and negative, of drilling in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale and identifying the steps that need to be taken to ensure that drilling is done in a responsible manner. After hearing from 116 testifiers at hearing in five cities, the Commission concluded Pennsylvanians believe gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale has moved too quickly and that public officials need to do a better job protecting their communities and the environment.
