The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission beginning in December, 2009 planned to conduct field inspections on some of the Marcellus shale drilling sites in Pennsylvania. The purpose of these inspections was to monitor safety conditions on well sites and access roads, as well as water quality from nearby streams and rivers. The Commission intended to take a more proactive role in monitoring potential problems before they escalated into serious water quality issues. Previously, the agency had primarily acted merely in a reactive mode--taking action once pollutants had already entered a waterway, but never anticipating potential water quality issues before they came to light.
