Leaked EPA draft fracking guidance raises water contamination concerns

 

Leaked EPA draft fracking guidance raises water contamination concernsAn internal draft Environmental Protection Agency document leaked to DeSmogBlog shows that EPA scientists and professional staff have identified numerous toxic and radioactive substances in shale gas extraction wastewaters at high enough levels to cause concern.
