DRAFT report by the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which linked coal seam gas operations to groundwater contamination is proof the industry presents a real risk to groundwater systems, according to Kyogle Group Against Gas spokeswoman Boudicca Cerese.
The draft document reports the EPA's findings following an investigation of groundwater quality at Pavillion in the US state of Wyoming where Canadian-based gas company Encana operates.
The report is the first reputable scientific study to link hydraulic fracturing (known as fracking) to groundwater contamination.
