Drill, baby, drill

DNR Approves GTAC Plan To Drill More Exploratory Holes In Penokees. (Wisconsin Public Radio, 7/15/2014)

How "improved", how "near"?  Included in the approval is a stormwater permit to improve an access road to the drill sites. Lynch said the sites can’t be on wetlands and have to be near an existing road.


See who received the remaining $15,500 at the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
