Please learn why some people don't want our sand mixed
with chemicals to be anywhere near their water supplies............

  • Drilling process causes water supply alarm
From the Denver Post last November:
The 2004 EPA study is routinely used to dismiss complaints that hydraulic-fracturing fluids might be
responsible for the water problems in places like Pinedale, the nearest town to the Sublette County
gas field. The study concluded that hydraulic fracturing posed "no threat" to underground drinking
water because fracturing fluids aren't necessarily hazardous and can't travel far underground, and that
there is "no unequivocal evidence" of a health risk. But documents obtained by ProPublica show that
the EPA negotiated directly with the gas industry before finalizing those conclusions and then ignored
evidence that fracing might cause the kinds of water problems now being recorded in drilling states.
Buried deep within the 424-page report are statements explaining that fluids migrated unpredictably and
that some of the chemicals involved "can cause kidney, liver, heart, blood, and brain damage through
prolonged or repeated exposure." http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_11001835
