| Abstract | See the true cost of gas! Natural gas is just another dirty fossil fuel. for more info see: Bluedaze. A [Barnett Shale] drilling rig operating for 3 months has the same impact as a city of 4,000 people—water use, solid waste generation, air emissions and traffic. ~David Burnett, Dir.

CattleDrinkDrillingWaste
| Contributor | TXsharon |
|---|---|
| Abstract | This video shows Texas Black Angus cattle drinking from drilling sludge pits at two different drilling sites in Denton County. I have witnessed cattle drinking from sludge pits regularly over the past few years. Unlike most other states, Texas law does not require that sludge pits be lined or fenced, but it does require the pits be "cleaned up" within 120 days after completion of the well. There are many sludge pits in Texas that never get cleaned up. These are a threat to wildlife, livestock, soil and our drinking water. |

Contaminated Water blamed on Natural Gas Drilling the wrong way! (Part 2)
| Contributor | RTAmerica |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Decreasing our dependence on foreign, using clean energy and bringing jobs to poor US communities are all good reasons to drill for natural gas. In fact, gas drilling is experiencing a boom around the United States from Pennsylvania to Colorado. However, the people of Dimock, PA are experiencing the unfortunate side effects, their water is being contaminated! |

EnCana Buries Hydraulic Fracturing Pit Sludge in Unlined Pit May 14, 2009
| Contributor | DivideWatch |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Lisa Bracken. 2009. "Twenty-three days after EnCana completed hydraulic fracturing operations on the F11E, the liner is removed, some of the sludge is pumped out and the remainder - perhaps 70 barrels or more - is dozed in.
...Industry would like us to believe that frac fluids are merely salt water, a little thickener, and food additives. But we know frac mixtures contain all kinds of hazardous substances, like biocides, benzene, hydrocarbons, solvents, descalers, surfactants, enzymes, acids, and patented synthetic chemicals. For over a year, I've been documenting EnCana's aggressive and irresponsible development of 60 natural gas wells around our home and the infamous area of the 2004 West Divide Creek natural gas blowout." |

Lisa Bracken. 2009.
"If one of the pumper trucks had overturned on the county road, spilling this stuff into the environment, a hazardous materials unit would have responded, sequestered the area, potentially evacuated citizens and employed measures to safeguard first responders, citizens and the environment.
But because this is a hydraulic fracturing waste pit, out of sight of the public and on private land (owned, coincidently, by EnCana) it is simply covered up."

Fracking and the Environment: Natural Gas Drilling, Hydraulic Fracturing and Water Contamination
| Contributor | mediagrrl9 |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Gas drilling companies such as Halliburton say the gas drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is safe, but opponents contend it pollutes groundwater with dangerous substances. Now, new evidence has emerged possibly linking natural gas drilling to groundwater contamination. ProPublica journalist Abrahm Lustgarten reports federal officials in Wyoming have found that at least three water wells contain chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing. |

Filmmaker Josh Fox travels across 32 states to meet other rural residents on the front lines of fracking. He discovers toxic streams, ruined aquifers, dying livestock, brutal illnesses, and kitchen sinks that burst into flame. He learns that all water is connected and perhaps some things are more valuable than money. |

Smitsky Letter
| Contributor | GasDrillingTruth |
|---|---|
| Abstract | We had our water sent to a independent lab for testing. The amount of toxic chemicals was off the chart. We had the Department of Environmental Protection come to the house to take a sample of the water months ago, and we waited and waited for their report. My landlord called the DEP and they said it was safe to drink. The independent lab. told us not to drink the water, not to use it for cooking and not to use it for bathing. |

Storing Hydrofracking Wastewater near Keuka Lake

| Abstract | Sharon Daggat and her husband have a 52 acre farm, 38 acres used as a vineyard, in the Steuben County town of Pulteney. They are concerned about a permit that would allow Chesapeake Energy to store hydrofracking wastewater in an empty natural gas well next to their property. Their property is less than a mile west of Keuka Lake. They fear contamination of their well water and damage to their vineyard. |

Supreme Court Restricts Clean Water Act
| Contributor | theGlobalReport |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Thousands of the largest water polluters in the United States are outside the Clean Water Acts reach because the Supreme Court has left uncertain which waterways are protected by that law. As a result, some businesses are declaring that the law no longer applies to them. And pollution rates are rising. About 117 million Americans get their drinking water from sources fed by waters that are vulnerable to exclusion from the Clean Water Act. |

See: New York Times, February 28, 2010. "Rulings Restrict Clean Water Act, Foiling E.P.A."
"We are, in essence, shutting down our Clean Water programs in some states. This is a huge step backward. When companies figure out the cops can't operate, they start remembering how much cheaper it is to just dump stuff in a nearby creek." --Douglas F. Mundrick, EPA Lawyer.
