Received an email from Penn Environment about this and don't know the full story but it can't be good. Apparently if the gas drillers use abandoned mine water they will be absolved of any liability if there is an accident. Please read and submit comment if you desire.

Here is a link to the bill if you're interested in reading it. On one end I can see the logic of why "pollute perfectly clean water when we can recycle the stuff we already messed up," but on the other hand it just seems like another opportunity for the industry to do it's worst...
The "meat" is on page 5.. Quote: (d) Mine water for beneficial uses.--Notwithstanding any

Makes a certain amount of sense , but once the trust has been broken.......can't be fixed. Now ........if they were to assume liability and go ahead with using and treating/recycling mine water maybe they could fix some of the breakage.

I honestly don't understand the benefit to the commonwealth, but it looks like a SWEET loophole for the frickin' frackers. <- see what I did there?
