Newly built Steckman Ridge Compressor Station Emergency Shutdown August 23, 2009, Clearville, PA
What is released from natural gas compressor stations when there is an emergency shutdown and everything is vented into the atmosphere with a lubricant type oily substance? Just the oily lubricant? Should the PADep do their own plume study or accept a private company plume study as evidence of what occurred?
Air pollution also in Clearville, PA?
Watch this youtube video showing an oily substance released from the compressor station on a township road during the emergency shut down at this newly built compressor station.

Read about some of the air emissions which landowners believes were released along with the oily substance all of which are being claimed as a little event based on a private plume study?
