(Beaver County, PA) PennEnergy recently rescinded its permit to withdraw 1.5 million gallons of water every day from Big Sewickley Creek. The company got approval for removing the water in January of 2024 and asked the state of Pennsylvania to get rid of two permits in March. The first was to remove water from the Cooney Hollow Road creek in Economy Borough. The second was to build a waterline above-ground to carry the same water to a shale gas well pad nearby.
