Two more shale gas development companies have been charged with environmental crimes in Washington County following a two-year state grand jury investigation, State Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced Wednesday.
Some GOP lawmakers reacted to the report by saying the shale gas industry is “one of the most regulated in the nation,” and they were “offended” at the report’s characterization of the industry.
Pennsylvania's Office of Attorney General is charging Cabot Oil and Gas for environmental crimes related to one of the most notorious cases of water contamination from Marcellus Shale drilling in the state.
