A "minor spill" occurred on Saturday, February 12, 2011, at a Talisman well pad near Alba, Bradford County, PA. A spill of 1-3 barrels of frack flowback water was discharged (sprayed) onto the snow according to Daniel Spadoni of the PA DEP. This sounds so innocuous. However, it is the cumulative effect of all the minor spills and the major spills that will eventually cause a lot of damage. Gas companies minimize the scope of these accidents. I think we need to be very concerned about every one of them.
Here is the link to the Daily Review article.

In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.
