God bless the EPA. It disturbs me to know that the Texas Railroad Commission did nothing for months while people were exposed to risks of harm. In this case the evidence clearly points to Range as being the culprit, clearly enough that the EPA evoked the wrath of the Commission. The Marcellus shale gas industry crows that there hasn’t been a single case of aquifer contamination due to direct contamination by drilling and fracking activity. But there have been cases of contamination due to cracked well casings, and not just in Dimock, PA. Will the Parker County contamination cases be proven to be due to well casing failures? If not via failed well casings, then how? I'm interested in hearing the rest of this story. More Dimock-style flammable water. God bless the EPA.
