http://readingeagle.com/news/article/wolf-to-sign-order-restoring-ban-on-new-drilling-leasesExcerpt:
"Gov. Tom Wolf plans to sign an executive order ending a short-lived effort by his predecessor to expand the extraction of natural gas from rock buried deep below Pennsylvania's state parks and forests, his office said Wednesday.
Following through on a campaign pledge, Wolf will sign the order restoring a moratorium on new drilling leases involving public lands on Thursday at Benjamin Rush State Park in northeast Philadelphia.
It will supersede an order that Republican Gov. Tom Corbett signed in May and reinstate the ban that former Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, instituted in 2010. Environmentalists praised the action, saying it reflects the new Democratic governor's support for strong environmental regulation."
