Shale Development and Hydraulic Fracturing
(National Association of Development Organizations - NADO - May 2010)
As oil and gas developments related to the Marcellus and Utica Shale Plays begin to spread in to Eastern and Southeastern Ohio, we feel it is important to provide our constituents with as much information as possible.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has released new materials concerning shale development in Ohio and the safety of Hydraulic Fracturing. For more information please visit the Ohio DNR Shale Development web page and download their two page document entitled 'The Facts About Hydraulic Fracturing.'
