Pennsylvania Lawyers Handling Marcellus Shale Endangered Species Issues
Helping Natural Gas Producers Fulfill Legal Obligations
When seeking to operate in the Marcellus Shale development, it is essential for energy companies to be aware of potential issues presented by the presence of endangered or threatened species.

- The use and limitations of the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program and similar databases that store information on endangered species
- Conducting searches for endangered species whenever necessary
- Obtaining permits for stream and wetland crossings, well drilling and obstructions
