A group of Dimock, Pennsylvania landowners is planning a lawsuit against a natural gas drilling company for allegedly ruining their property.
15 families living just south of Montrose accuse Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation of threatening their health, destroying their safety and compromising the landscape.
The plaintiffs living on Carter Road signed lease agreements with Cabot in 2006 to drill into the Marcellus Shale that runs beneath their homes.
The Dimock drilling site has been plagued with problems this year with PA Department of Environmental Protection fines, a spill, drinking water well contamination and an explosion.
Lawyers representing the landowners claim that the company has contaminated their property, area streams and the underground water supply.
They're planning a news conference tomorrow to discuss their claims.
