List of the Harmed

The List of the Harmed (PDF version) is maintained by Pennsylvania Alliance for Clean Water and Air. It contains the names of over 1200 people who have been harmed by unconventional oil & gas infrastructure and production. PACWA is doing a wonderful job of maintaining this list, so there is no reason to keep a copy here. Below are some names on the list from Fayette County.

The names below are surely not all there are; many more people either have not come forward or do not want their names to be used.
