[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 1858804, member: 2469"] [url]http://www.epa.gov/hydraulicfracturing/[/url] Providing Regulatory Clarity and Protections against Known Risks Although the national study should enhance our scientific knowledge, some concerns associated with overall natural gas and shale gas extraction, including hydraulic fracturing, are already well known. These operations can result in a number of potential impacts to the environment, including: Stress on surface water and ground water supplies from the withdrawal of large volumes of water used in drilling and hydraulic fracturing; Contamination of underground sources of drinking water and surface waters resulting from spills, faulty well construction, or by other means; Adverse impacts from discharges into surface waters or from disposal into underground injection wells; and Air pollution resulting from the release of volatile organic compounds, hazardous air pollutants, and greenhouse gases.
