Vera Scroggins made a right to know request from DEP about the Dimock Water contamination. Anyone who has watched Frack Nation might think everything is fine.
"Additionally, you asked 'to see any documents stating that the DEP has found the water wells safe to use and drink with these families and with the original 18 homes affected by gas drilling in Dimock, Pa., Susquehanna County'.
The Department ... does not posses records stating that any of these residents' private water supplies are safe to use and drink."
-- PA DEP 12/24/2013
that's right; DEP is not able to publicly state that the water in Dimock in the affected areas is either safe or unsafe to drink or use....why is this happening? our own protective agency can't say after years of testing and even blaming Cabot Oil and Gas and having settlements and gag orders with the families !? DEP, please publicly state whether the water is safe or not? Are you afraid of the Gas Industry ? !
