State investigating possible stray gas case near area of past problems in Dimock by Laura Legere, April 28, 2012, The Times-Tribune
State environmental regulators are investigating a possible case of methane migrating into water supplies just north of the 9-square-mile box in Dimock Twp. where the state halted a gas driller’s operations because of methane contamination in 2010. … Regulators began investigating the elevated methane levels in August 2010 after a resident reported a water quality complaint to the state. … The defects cited by the department “could have been a means of allowing methane to migrate into the fresh groundwater, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the water supply has been impacted,” she said.
