The presence of dissolved metbaoe ir your water supply, tle turbidity or cloudiness, the sulir odor, and all other compouads exceedilg primary MCLs and-/or secondary MCLs, appear to be related to background cooditions. At this time, the Deptu-tloent's investigatioD does not indicate thal gas well drilling has impacted your water supply. Methaae is tle predomiaaDt c-omponent ofnalura.l gas.

The Departunent collected samples ftom your home water supply ot\31612072. The samples were submitted to the Depsrtment's laboratory in Harrisburg for analysis. The analytical reports for the samples are included, as well as documents that will assist you with interpreting the sample results. The sarnple results showeil several compounds elevaied above Departrnent standards. Barium(Ba) was present at 4.24 mgA, which exceeds the primary maximum contaminant level (MCL) of2 mg[-, and Chlo d€, kon(Fe) and Total Dissolved Solids(TDS) exceeded secondary MCLS. Primary MCLS are inteoded to reflect potential dangers to human health, while secondary MCLS reflect the aesthetics ofthe water (i.e. taste, smell, etc.). Additionally, the sample results showed methane is present at 52.1 mg& in your water supply. Even though it is oul understanding that your private wate! well hai been taken off-line, you should still be aware of the following information. Methane is the predominant component of natural gas. Federal water standard limitations have not been established fot methane gas. The level of concem begins above 28 mg/l methaae, which is refened to as the saturation level. At this level, under normal alrnospheric pressure, the water canrot hold additional methaae in solution. This may allow the gas to come out ofthe water and concentate in the air space of your home or building. There is a physical danger offire or explosion due to the migration of nah[al gas into water weLls or thLrough soils into dwellings where it could be ignited by sources that are present in most homes,tuildings. Natural gas can also cause a threat ofasphlxiation, although this is ertremely rare. When tlle Department is made aware of methane levels grcater than 7 mg/I, we notifu the water suppLy ovner of the hazards associated with methane in their water supply.
