A huge supply of natural gas is trapped in the Marcellus Shale layer that runs beneath Northern Pennsylvania. Recent advances in technology — like hydraulic fracturing — have enabled the recovery of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale layer. Hydraulic fracturing is a method many gas development companies use to get gas from geological structures by pumping fluids at high pressure into the ground and fracturing subsurface rock. This water returns to the surface as "flowback" with chemicals that are potentially harmful to the environment.
