I guess that we should imagine the treatment of the ocean with collaborative
contributions before analyzing the water and the concept of the ocean design;
It is also worth detailing that this extract is appropriate
Mr. Hock said it should have come as no
surprise that the E.P.A.�s two monitoring wells showed high levels of methane
and benzene because they were drilled deep into a natural gas field.
But
here on the front lines of the battle over fracking, which has become an
increasingly popular technique to extract previously unobtainable reserves of
oil and gas, no conclusion is yet definitive.
But some locals say the
draft report�s analysis of water samples, which identified synthetic
chemicals consistent with natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing
fluids, is proof of what they suspected for years.
In the meantime, the
state has offered to provide cisterns for local residents, using $750,000
allocated by the Wyoming Legislature this year. Under the plan, people here
would still have to pay a fee to have their water hauled from the nearby
community of Pavillion, at a cost that could run more than $150 per month.
�I�d like to have the industry held accountable for once,� said Jeff Locker,
a hay and barley farmer who said that his well water had gone bad around the
mid-�90s and that the contaminants had contributed to his wife�s neuropathy.
�We�ve got scientific proof. And they�re still turning their back on us. They
expect us to pay between $100 and $200 for something we didn�t cause. It
gets under my skin.�
�Until there is a peer-reviewed study and a good
scientific basis that indicates that the issues related to water are related
to our operations, that is not something we are ready to address,� said Doug
Hock, an Encana spokesman.
A draft report by the Environmental Protection
Agency, issued in December, appeared to confirm their concerns, linking
chemicals in local groundwater to gas drilling.
Encana has maintained that
water in the area is naturally poor and that its operations did not cause the
problems � fracking had also occurred before the company purchased the gas
field. Moreover, the energy industry has steadfastly pointed out that there
has never been any conclusive link between fracking and water contamination.
In the meantime, the state has offered to provide cisterns for local
residents, using $750,000 allocated by the Wyoming Legislature this year.
Under the plan, people here would still have to pay a fee to have their water
hauled from the nearby community of Pavillion, at a cost that could run more
than $150 per month.
�These are people that had good water,� said John
Fenton, a barrel-chested farmer and chairman of the Pavillion Area Concerned
Citizens group. �And it changed when there was this rush to come in here and
develop the area when they didn�t understand the geology.�
But here on the
front lines of the battle over fracking, which has become an increasingly
popular technique to extract previously unobtainable reserves of oil and gas,
no conclusion is yet definitive.
;
what are the main interests of the water quality management or its association with the ocean monitoring?
