We are pleased to announce IOGCC as a partner of this conference.
Due to recent advances in technology, economic factors, and the increasing awareness of the need to develop new energy supplies, the production of "unconventional" natural gas is an
inevitable progression in Pennsylvania and throughout the Appalachian basin. By addressing water issues and critical infrastructure needs early and including all key stakeholders in
the process, this collaborative partnership can facilitate the safe, efficient, and environmentally sound recovery of natural resources.
The 2009 Pennsylvania Natural Gas Summit will address the challenges, opportunities, and related actions associated with water use and disposal, regional infrastructure
development, issues for local governments, identification of local economic opportunities, and legal issues related to natural gas leasing and development so that stakeholders can
make informed, educated decisions that best suit the needs of the region. These timely discussions can also help communities improve local decision making, empower them to guide their
own decisions, and improve the social and economic well-being of their citizens.
Who Should Attend: Attorneys, chambers of commerce, community and environmental groups, county and municipal elected officials, legal authorities, legislators, members of county or community task forces, planning officials, gas industry representatives, state and federal agency staff
Outcomes: Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and identify water, infrastructure, local government, legal and business issues, and impacts related to Marcellus Shale development in their respective communities and regions.
