EPA Report Links Fracking To Water Pollution

In a draft report (pdf) released today, the Environmental Protection Agency confirmed what many residents of Pavilion, Wyoming have been complaining about for some time now: Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is responsible for polluting the area's drinking water.

Before issuing this report, the EPA had advised residents not to drink their water, because, as MSNBC says, the EPA "said it had found benzene and other hydrocarbons in wells it tested."

"They found chemicals that shouldn't be there," Elizabeth said. Some of the glycols and alcohols "don't occur there naturally, but they are found in the cocktails of chemicals that the industry injected underground."
