MURRYSVILLE, Pa. (KDKA) - A second fracking site could be coming to Murrysville.

The Tribune-Review reports oil and gas company, Olympus Energy, wants to build another well pad off Logans Ferry Road near the border of Murrysville and Plum.

It already operates the Titan well pad in the area.

There was a public hearing about the proposal this week. A lawyer for the company said it would meet all the conditions imposed on the other well pad. That includes getting a waiver for exceeding noise regulations.

A vote on the proposal is set to happen later this month.
