HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- State regulators are recommending what they call some of the nation's tightest environmental restrictions on shale gas drilling in western Maryland.
The departments of the environment and natural resources jointly released an interim report Friday on "best practices" for safe drilling in Maryland's portion of the Marcellus shale.
It generally recommends no drilling within 2,000 feet of private drinking water wells and at least 1,000 feet from public drinking water sources to prevent contamination by methane leaking from drill sites.
