Marcellus Shale workshop planned for Nov. 16

Penn State Cooperative Extension in Lackawanna County will host a Marcellus Shale natural gas workshop, “Marcellus Shale and Pipelines – Understanding the Infrastructure Development,” from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 16, at the Worthington Scranton Campus in Dunmore.

Participants will gain a greater understanding of pipeline infrastructure, regulation and safety, and needs to address as a landowner and community member with property in the Marcellus Shale region.

There will be a discussion on the background and need for pipeline development in the Marcellus region, various regulations and safety issues, and the legalities of right-of-way agreements. A question-and-answer session will follow.

The program, part of a five-part series, is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Call Penn State Lackawanna County Extension Office at 570-963-6842 by Friday, Nov. 12.
