Fracking's Footprint: Scientists Study Impact of Shale Gas Development on Pennsylvania's Forests

To support the drilling of a 5,000-foot-deep well and the fracking process that follows, engineers must build a raised, gravel pad of three to five acres in size and a stormwater system to handle the resulting runoff. New roads to the drill pad are needed, as are compressor stations for pumping the gas and pipelines to carry it away. And because most of the pressurized water comes back up once hydraulic fracturing is finished, flowback water storage ponds and treatment facilities must be constructed, as well.
