Fracking puts PA drinking water at risk

From the New York Times:

Other documents and interviews show that many E.P.A. scientists are alarmed, warning that the drilling waste is a threat to drinking water in Pennsylvania. Their concern is based partly on a 2009 study, never made public, written by an E.P.A. consultant who concluded that some sewage treatment plants were incapable of removing certain drilling waste contaminants and were probably violating the law.


Bottom line: we can't believe industry assurances that there is no threat to our drinking water.
