Drilling Information

Many homeowners are deeply concerned about the impact of a major gas drilling operation so close to our community. With all the pressure to sign contracts and all the confusing information that's being pushed at our community, we've compiled a Drilling Info page with reliable websites, articles and research. Check back often for updates and feel free to send any questions to blackridge.webmaster@gmail.com.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE FULLY INFORMED ABOUT:

• Your legal liabilities and tax ramifications of leasing your mineral rights
• Marcellus Shale gas extraction methods
• Hydraulic Fracturing to Access Gas
• Quality of Life disturbances (noise, dirt, vibrations, explosions, pollution)
• Experiences of homeowners where drilling has already occurred
• Rural versus suburban gas drilling issues
• Short term and long term consequences of gas drilling on property values and communities

Please also join us for a Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, July 21st @ 7:00 pm at the BCA Clubhouse where reliable information will be provided and questions will be answered.  ALL residents and friends in any neighboring communities are welcome.  Please invite your neighbors and friends to join you.
