Murrysville Stream Monitoring Group (MSMG): Data contributions to Shale Network database 10/07/2013

MSMG Location: Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania Contact: Joe Gutherie, Lori McShea (MSMG) and Julie Vastine (ALLARM) Number of sites sampled: 10 Analytes: Specific conductance, TDS, strontium, and barium Goal: The Murrysville Stream Monitoring Group was formed to monitor the quality of water in local creeks and streams. By establishing a scientifically sound baseline, the group hopes to be in a position to quickly detect changes in the water quality, caused by any number of detrimental activities.

Shale Network locations (black/blue rectangles) plotted with MSMG sample locations (green) as of 10/04/13

MSMG (green squares) plotted with unconventional well sites (blue circles) and wells reported to have PA DEP violations (red diamonds) as of 10/06/13

MSMG data plotted with U. S MSMG data plotted with U.S. Geological Survey (NWIS) surface water data for specific conductance in Pennsylvania (as of 10/4/2013) NWIS; mean= 122.4 uS/cm standard deviation= 114.19 uS/cm MSMG; mean= 485.2uS/cm standard deviation= 149.7 uS/cm

MSMG data plotted with U. S MSMG data plotted with U.S. Geological Survey (NWIS) surface water data for barium in Western Pennsylvania (as of 10/4/2013) NWIS; mean= 46.4 ug/L standard deviation= 19.6 ug/L MSMG; mean= 163.2 ug/L standard deviation= 227.3 ug/L

MSMG data plotted with U. S MSMG data plotted with U.S. Geological Survey (NWIS) surface water data for strontium in Western Pennsylvania (as of 10/4/2013) NWIS; mean= 179.1 ug/L standard deviation=295.4 ug/L MSMG; mean= 239.0 ug/L standard deviation= 116.5 ug/L

Conclusions Unconventional drilling for natural gas is occurring in Westmoreland County The MSMG is providing conductivity, TDS, Ba, and Sr data to the public dataset for the northeast in areas of gas development Conductivity concentrations for the MSMGs’ 10 sites are above the mean for conductivity measured and reported by the U.S. Geological Survey as NWIS data since 1960
