Description

Performance audit of the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) and its ability to protect water quality in the wake of Pennsylvaniaäó»s shale gas boom. It covered the period Jan. 1, 2009, through Dec. 31, 2012. Audit objectives were focused on DEPäó»s monitoring of shale gas development activities as related to DEPäó»s inspection process, DEPäó»s role in respnding to complaints, and DEPäó»s monitoring of waste generated from shale gas development activity. The audit is critical of DEPäó»s performance in these areas, although it does not question the dedication and hard work of DEPäó»s employees to their mission of protecting the environment. The audit contains eight findings that detail shortcomings in DEPäó»s efforts related to its regulatory function over the shale gas industry. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
