Harrisonburg city leaders say they have some concerns with a proposal to drill for natural gas in Rockingham County.
A Texas company has applied for a special-use permit to drill in Bergton.
At Tuesday's city council meeting, members said there are still several unanswered questions about the proposal.
Those include whether or not there is a potential "threat" to the city's drinking supply, says Mayor Kai Degner.
A few members of the community also addressed council members, sharing several concerns about potential environmental impacts.
In a previous interview with WHSV, Carizzo Marcellus Oil and Gas Vice President Richard Hunter said, "We've really made it quite a science in being able to control the environmental impact both on the surface location and the subsurface."
The final decision is up to the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors.
City council members plan to meet with county officials Friday.
