Outdoor Burning Advisory For Roulette Township
OUTDOOR BURN ADVISORY IN EFFECT
The Roulette Volunteer Fire Department and the Roulette Township Supervisors, have issued a burn advisory for the area until further notice.
In light of recent extremely dry conditions, following an abnormally wet spring that promoted much growth, there is a very high danger of wildfires. We ask that all outdoor burning activities be limited to very small, contained, and supervised fires. It would even be preferable if there were no outdoor fires at all. The smallest of embers, can easily travel in the wind and start a major wildfire which would not only tax our firefighting resources, but our water resources as well. The township water system is impacted by the drought, the river is low, and the streams are nearly non-existent. Any fire is a preventable drain on these resources.
Most clean burnable trash can, and should be, recycled at no cost through the township recycling program that is available to all Roulette Township residents and small businesses.

Drought Impact On Water Wells Prompts Water Restrictions In Roulette Township
Stage 1 Voluntary Water Restriction Issued By Roulette Township Water Company
Due to the lack of rain over the last several weeks, our well levels have
dropped to a point that requires us to issue a voluntary water restriction
notice to all of our water customers.
This is currently a "Voluntary Restriction". The state requires that we have a contingency plan, periodically review and update it, and implement it when necessary. The goal of this plan is to reduce the amount of water that is being consumed by 30%, in order to prevent having to go to Stage 2.
There will be nobody driving around and peeking in your yards to see who is, and who is not doing their part. This stage gives you, the customers, the ability to help prevent stage 2, or at least prolong it if we don’t start seeing rain in the near future. It took a long time for these well levels to drop and it will take just as long for them to return when we finally do get rain.
We have already put Well #7 back online to help lighten the load on Well #4. It is now, and always has been the goal of the fire department to find a drafted water source as soon as possible, it is just a little more prevalent of an issue at this time. Once that draft has been acquired, there is no need to refill any trucks from the public water supply and putting even more strain on the system. It only means that there will be river water sitting in the trucks instead of treated water. The same holds true with the overhead filling stations, they are a convenience not a necessity. If worse came to worse the trucks can easily be filled from the dry hydrant near the fire hall.
If it should become necessary to go to Stage 2 of the plan, the problems are worse, and the rules are more stringent to prevent having to implement stage 3. We have never been in the position to implement Stage 3 of the plan, and hope that we never have to, as that would include water rationing.
We greatly appreciate the help of our customers.
Attached is a copy of the current Drought Contingency Plan that spells out the conditions of the requirement and conditions of these restrictions.
This is effective immediately and will remain in effect until further notice.

Marcellus Shale Commission Issues Final Report
Marcellus Shale Commission Issues Final Report
HARRISBURG -- Lt. Governor Jim Cawley today released the final report of the Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission, taking the first step toward developing a comprehensive and strategic plan for responsible natural gas drilling in Pennsylvania.
The unanimously-adopted report contains 96 policy recommendations that include tougher regulations for drilling, doubling fines for violations, creating jobs in related industries and promoting the use of natural gas vehicles.
“Today, Pennsylvania is taking an important, first step toward creating tens of thousands of jobs and leading the nation toward energy independence and doing so in an environmentally responsible way,” said Cawley.
Some of the key recommendations the panel made to Governor Corbett include:
• Increasing the distance between gas well sites and streams, private wells and public water systems.
• Posting more information online for the public.
• Tougher civil and criminal penalties for violators.
• Assisting PA companies to do business with natural gas industry.
• Training Pennsylvanians to work in the industry.
• Developing “Green Corridors” for vehicles powered by natural gas.
“This commission brought the industry, environmental groups and local government leaders together to the same table where we methodically and publicly worked out these comprehensive recommendations,” said Cawley.
Governor Corbett formed the 30-member commission in March, giving them 120 days to develop recommendations on all aspects of natural gas drilling. The commission held 21 public meetings, heard 60 expert presentations and reviewed more than 650 emails and letters from the public.

Ultra Sued For Dangerous & Illegal Air Pollution In Potter & Tioga County Operations
PennFuture files federal lawsuit against Marcellus Shale driller Ultra Resources, Inc. for violations of federal and state air pollution laws in Marshlands Play in Potter and Tioga Counties
Organization also seeking DEP records statewide on air pollution at all drilling sites
Harrisburg, PA (July 21, 2011) – Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future (PennFuture) filed a lawsuit today in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania against Ultra Resources, Inc., for air pollution at its Marcellus Shale drilling sites, which violates the federal Clean Air Act, Pennsylvania’s State Implementation Plan (the “Pennsylvania SIP”), and Pennsylvania’s New Source Review regulations. PennFuture also filed a formal request with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for all records of air pollution at drilling sites throughout the Commonwealth.
“Ultra’s drilling operations in Tioga and Potter counties are emitting dangerous and illegal air pollution and operating without the required permits,” said Jan Jarrett, president and CEO of PennFuture. “Unless gas drillers operating in Pennsylvania control the air pollution from their operations, air quality will deteriorate, putting public health at risk.
“The noxious air pollution is widespread in the two county area of the ‘Marshlands Play,’” continued Jarrett. “The operations include natural gas wells, pipelines, compressor stations, and other equipment, all of which are connected by pipeline to a Metering and Regulation Station, also constructed and operated by Ultra, where the gas produced at Ultra’s wells is adjusted for pressure, measured, and delivered to an interstate pipeline. Ultra constructed the operations without the necessary permits – specifically a permit required by Pennsylvania’s New Source Review (NSR) regulations, and without achieving the lowest achievable emissions rate or purchasing emissions reductions credits. The company is emitting large amounts of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the air, creating serious health risks for anyone living downwind from the operations.
“The laws were passed for a reason – to protect the health of our families,” continued Jarrett. “According to the United States EPA, even short-term NOx exposures, ranging from 30 minutes to 24 hours, cause adverse respiratory effects including airway inflammation in healthy people and increased respiratory symptoms in people with asthma. And this air pollution also leads to more fine particle pollution, which can cause heart attacks and other deadly illnesses.
“But this appears to be business as usual for many drillers,” continued Jarrett. “A study out of Fort Worth (TX) recently showed that the NOx pollution just from the average compressor engine there is about 60 tons per year. And with drilling going like gangbusters here in Pennsylvania, that same kind of pollution from all the operations would create serious public health problems, and destroy any ability of Pennsylvania to meet air quality standards. We’ve also seen the formerly pristine air in Wyoming now more dangerous than that in Los Angeles, thanks to massive drilling. We need to stop this problem here and now.
“We are also asking DEP to open the books on its assessment of air pollution at other drilling operations throughout the Commonwealth,” said Jarrett. “We cannot and will not allow the drillers to operate without meeting our clean air rules.”
Copies of the PennFuture court filing and Right to Know request are available for download.
PennFuture is a statewide public interest membership organization, founded in 1998. PennFuture's activities include litigating cases before regulatory bodies and in local, state and federal courts, advocating and advancing legislative action on a state and federal level, public education and assisting citizens in public advocacy.
Working from the premise that “Every environmental victory grows the economy,” PennFuture has successfully advocated for landmark environmental legislation, including passage of the largest-ever environmental funding bond, public investment in green energy and energy savings programs, passage of the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act, adoption of the Clean Vehicles Program and adoption of a regulation that protects Pennsylvania’s babies by restricting mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants. PennFuture has staff throughout the state, in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Wilkes-Barre. The Philadelphia Inquirer called PennFuture the “state’s leading environmental advocacy organization,” and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette named the organization one of the ten most influential groups on the issue of natural gas drilling.”

A Letter To The Editor
Elimination of the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps
First, I’d like to say thank you to all those who tried to help to save the program and for the elected officials who are strong supporters of what the program was all about.
I waited a couple of weeks to write about the PCC’s demise to calm down and be a little less angry about this before commenting and to reflect on what this means to getting us closer towards a balanced budget and what it will mean to all the young people waiting for their turn to improve their educations and get a head start towards a lasting career.
From my perspective cutting the PCC to save the meager amount it costs to fund the program makes absolutely no sense at all. Investing in our youth and the future of our country is something we should never stop doing. Someone commented a few weeks ago about how taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill helping a young person get his GED because he made the choice to quit school or made some other mistake while he was still growing up. If we weren’t willing to give any person a second chance, just imagine how many people would be out of work today and how much harder achieving a balanced budget would be then. Making kids more employable through education and training means they start off with better jobs and make much more money. Anyone with common sense knows this means bigger tax contributions on their part and also means fewer people depending on DPW and other state aid to live on. PCC was a part of the Ameri-Corps program, a national program that awarded additional education money to our youth who earned it by working hard with us and all that money got spent in Pennsylvania at colleges and trade schools. Guess what that means? Less money for the higher education system now, more out of taxpayers pockets for funding and maybe even a job or two someone could have had at one of those schools.
Cutting the PCC will also mean less work will get done at parks, forestry, museums and local municipalities because they lack funding and man power to accomplish everything they would like to do to provide the public with better services. It will mean that they generate less revenue because cabins won’t get built in parks, buildings won’t get built at forestry sites, museums will have a tougher time keeping up with needed repairs and towns will have to spend more taxpayer money to get their work done. Make no mistake about it the tourism industry will suffer as well.
Losing the PCC also means every time there is a disaster like a flood or tornado in state there will be less help for all of you. PCC has been for the past 27 years, one of the very first called upon to step in and provide assistance cleaning up homes and towns and helping people get their lives back to normal. It also means, because we are nationally recognized for our work, that other states who have called on us in the past can’t count on our help anymore either. What that will mean to the public is the cheap labor force you enjoyed with us will now cost a whole lot more money to get the work done and more delays with the government coming to your aid.
It has been a great pleasure to have helped so many kids realize their dreams and achieve their goals over my years with the PCC and I’m disappointed more kids won’t have the same opportunity.
