Marcellus Shale Site Restoration

Marcellus Shale Site Restoration

With Marcellus and Utica shale formations being targeted as rich sources of natural gas, the gas drilling industry has moved forward in their efforts to extract the gas trapped in these formations. Different from conventional natural gas extraction techniques, Marcellus and Utica shale sites are larger, having a greater impact on the surrounding environment.

Marcellus and Utica shale formations and quality restoration go hand in hand, since there will be a greater need to restore these sites, whether it is a natural gas transmission line stream crossing, wetlands impact, re-vegetation of a well site, or other areas that will inevitably be impacted by any aspect of this work.
