Breaks Park seeks review before gas drilling plan
Breaks Interstate Park officials want Blue Flame Energy to fund a thorough biologist study of the Grand Canyon of the South to delay drilling of natural gas wells on park land along the Virginia Kentucky border. If endangered species are found, federal rules could block or limit drilling. The park would pay if the company won’t. Local residents oppose, citing environmental harm and road construction. Blue Flame plans at least three wells on the gorge rim.
