Results of Dimock, PA Well Water Tests Due This Week | NewsInferno

Initial results of federal testing for contamination to water wells at Dimock, Pa., due to localized hydraulic fracturing (fracking) drilling are expected this week.

Associated Press reports the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should be ready to release initial results from the samples it has taken recently near the small northeast Pennsylvania village that’s gained a national reputation as one of the epicenters of the battle over the controversial fuel capturing method. These results are likely to be met with intense skepticism at the state government level, where a pro-fracking Governor has indicated since taking office he’s a friend of the industry and believes it can help the Commonwealth recover from down economic times.
