Hiya,
This article looks interesting:
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.
For
the last few years, a small group of farmers and landowners scattered across
this rural Wyoming basin have complained that their water wells have been
contaminated with chemicals from a controversial drilling technique known as
hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
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.
�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.
After an outcry from Wyoming�s governor, Matt Mead,
and the energy industry that the federal report was premature and
inconclusive, more testing was conducted by the United States Geological
Survey and is being processed. The E.P.A. is also in the midst of collecting
additional water samples for study.
Mr. Fenton said he thought he had
dodged a bullet until about three years ago, when his tap water began
occasionally fizzing and smelling like petroleum. And even though Encana is
giving him drinking water, Mr. Fenton said he and his family still bathe in
dirty water.
�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.
