The Better Path Coalition will host a January 12 webinar on Road Spreading Drilling Wastewater, Why Hasn't It Stopped? Starting at 7:00 p.m.

DEP put a moratorium on spreading conventional oil and gas drilling wastewater on unpaved roads in 2018. Why hasn't the moratorium stopped drillers from spreading more than 2.2 million gallons of their wastewater on Pennsylvania roads?

Hear from the author of a Better Path Coalition brief on the issue-- Karen Feridun-- and former DEP Secretary David Hess who has written extensively about the topic in the PA Environment Digest.
