Better Path Coalition Presents Jan. 12 Webinar On Road Spreading Drilling Wastewater, Why Hasn't It Stopped?

Hear from the author of a Better Path Coalition brief on the issue-- Karen Feridun-- and former DEP Secretary David Hess who has written extensively about the topic in the PA Environment Digest.
