Additional Information
Commissioners attending in Baltimore should park on the Red Lot at MDE; other persons attending should park
on the Blue Lot. If there are any slide presentations, an attempt will be made to post them on MDE’s Marcellus
Shale website on Monday morning so that those who cannot attend at either location can download the slides and
follow along. To get the slides, go to www.mde.state.md.us; on the home page, click on the center tile that has a
picture of a drill rig and the words “Marcellus Shale Safe Drilling Initiative.” This will take you to a page with a
link to the slide presentations, if any, for this meeting. The audio will be available by telephone. The toll-free
dial-in number is 1-866-247-6034, and the conference code is 844 100 2064, followed by #.
