Residents Oppose Fracking at U.S. Steel Edgar Thomson
Written by Sandy Williams
Residents near U.S. Steel’s Mon Valley Works are in an uproar over plans to allow New Mexico-based Merrion Oil & Gas to drill for natural gas in the Edgar Thomson Plant.
U.S. Steel has leased 10 acres of land at the plant in Braddock, Pa., to Merrion Oil to construct three fracking wells that will provide natural gas to U.S. Steel. If the permits are granted, construction will begin in 2020.
