HARRISBURG - State environmental regulators are imposing fines against Cabot Oil and Gas Corp. after the gas-exploration company reported three chemical spills in Susquehanna County.

The Department of Environmental Protection said Thursday that Cabot is being fined $56,650 for violating the Clean Streams Law, Solid Waste Management Act and Oil and Gas Act.

Last week, the department allowed the Houston-based company to resume a drilling technique that uses liquids to fracture rock and release natural gas.

It said the company had improved its accident-prevention plans.
