A press release from the Environmental Protection Agency said that Dimock, Pa., had safe drinking water in spite of fracking. But independent testing found dangerous levels of methane. What gives?
The EPA issued a release implying that Dimock’s water was clean when only 11 samples had been tested, out of almost 50 households. The agency says that the early announcement, which Dimock residents felt was premature, was intended to keep all those concerned informed about each stage of the testing process. But it doesn’t explain why the data hasn’t been made public, or why the results don’t square with independent testing.
