Other topics to be addressed include leasing issues and volunteer water monitoring programs. The symposium will be held on Sunday, March 4th 2012 from 3:00 – 4:30 PM at the Bruceton United … [View More]Methodist Church in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia and is open to the public. Julie Archer from the West Virginia Surface Owners’ Rights Organization (WVSORO) will present “The Top 10 Tips for Surface Owners Before/When the Oil and Gas Driller Shows Up”. Morgantown attorney Jay Leon who specializes in energy, oil, and gas law will address leasing issues such as lease holding and renewal. Friends of Deckers Creek and Friends of the Cheat will briefly discuss their citizen scientist monitoring programs. There will also be ample time for questions and discussion. This will be a great opportunity for residents to learn more about the potential environmental impacts from Marcellus Shale drilling, land owners’ rights, and to get involved with monitoring efforts. We hope to see you there! Seeking Volunteers for Citizen Scientist Monitoring Program FODC is currently looking for volunteers in Monongalia and Preston Counties to monitor streams in our watershed. We will train and equip you to monitor a specific sampling point every other week on your own time and how to upload the data online.
