Fracking is a process in oil and gas development that involves fracturing rock and pumping a mix of
chemicals, many of which are hazardous, under high pressure into the ground. Incidents across the
country have demonstrated that these chemicals can and do get into drinking water. It is only right
that well owners have the information needed to test for possible well contamination. Fracking
chemicals must be disclosed.
Thank you Bud Barta
