EPA releases 20 new Dimock water test results – News – The Times-Tribune.
My quick scan shows 6/31 water wells above the absolutely critical/dangerous level of 28 mg/L for methane. This is 20%, well above the expected baseline prevalence of about 1%. What will haunt this community situation is the lack of baseline water well testing. – because the driller never got baseline tests.
There are lotta other data at the link. View the Data HERE

EPA releases 20 new Dimock water test results
By Laura Legere (Staff Writer)
Published: April 6, 2012
Federal regulators have released the second set of sampling results from their investigation in Dimock Twp.
The Environmental Protection Agency found that the 20 new results – like the first 11 released three weeks ago – “did not show levels of contaminants that would give EPA reason to take immediate action,” spokesman Roy Seneca said in a statement Friday.
A spreadsheet of the results from all 31 wells can be found at http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/states/pa.html under “Dimock, PA activities.”
The agency has now released about half of the data collected between Jan. 23 and Feb. 15 during sampling in an area of Dimock where the agency is investigating the potential impact of nearby natural gas drilling on water supplies. The EPA took samples from 61 homes.

Half of today’s show is devoted to pro-fracking interests and half is devoted to anti-fracking interests.
Tom West of the West Law Firm
is best known as an oil and gas attorney & lobbyist, and one of the lawyers who argued against home rule in both the Middlefield & Dryden cases. Today he joins us to talk about why he is appealing, as well as a “newly discovered” Encon memorandum that he claims will shed light on the state’s oil and gas laws.
Then taking a very different view of hydrofracking, Josh Fox, producer of Gasland, says communities in Pennsylvania are taking a cue from New York and fighting back against the state on drilling.
Plus, Claire Sandberg of Water Defense updates us on water issues in Dimock in light of the EPA’s report. And representing a contingent of anti-drillers from all over the state, Rochester’s Harry Davis previews a rally & protest on the issue taking place this afternoon at the Capitol.
