"Ulysses was built because of the big springs resevoir on the south end of town. There are wells being drilled within 3/4 of a mile from it."
Is not that the same location as the "Old Ulysses Dump"? Just wondering! -
Omg! Are we going to have to read all this bashing of "this man" again this week? C'mon people, get a grip, get a life, and leave him alone! I for one am sick of reading it! You don't like it? Move out and move on!

The Old Ulysses Dump is about 500 yards from the resevoir,,,,,and is nestled in the middle of a cow pasture!!! I haven't dranked the water in Ulysses in over 40 years,,,,but I do know the people that have,,,,,and they are alive and kickin!!!!!

That's what I said, MOVE! Thank you. They are all getting a little too obsessed. Gets old after a while, huh?
This statement in this article:
"With Pennsylvania poised to be pinpricked by natural gas drilling rigs"
is already out of date in Ulysses Township!! Greed has gripped one man so tight he has lost all since of decency to all his neighbors. Yes, legally he probably has every right, but he is going so fast to slide under any new regulation that the out come could be devastating!! Ulysses was built because of the big springs resevoir on the south end of town. There are wells being drilled within 3/4 of a mile from it. Go ahead and blast me for condeming this drilling but if the water is damaged in Ulysses it will be devastating. No one knows for sure what is going to happen. No one seems to care. Heaven help Ulysses!!
