It’s probably cheaper to abandon the wells and eventually, possibly paying the fine than it is to properly remove and correct the land. I’m sure it’s a numbers game at its core.

It's always cheaper. Just another thing that Pennsylvania citizens will have to front the bill to fix. First it was oil drilling and coal mining that we have to clean up. Next is natural gas wells.

Hell, in Elizabeth Forward theyre putting a well next to the damn school
