Pennsylvania’s recently announced proposal to regulate methane pollution from fracking and other oil and gas operations is a bold and necessary step toward protecting health and the climate. 

Most important is PA DEP’s intention to regulate existing sources of methane, which are set to continue polluting Pennsylvania for years to come. Enforceable, comprehensive standards for oil and gas facilities that were formerly exempt from permitting, and strengthened air permit requirements, are also needed improvements.

These new rules could set Pennsylvania apart as a national leader in methane reduction. By reducing pollution from oil and gas, Pennsylvania will be protecting the health and safety of residents statewide.
