Walter Hang Speaks Up About Gas Drilling Dangers in NY



"I believe this could be the Achilles heel of natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale."
Walter Hang

Read the article in the NY Times.

"While the existence of the toxic wastes has been reported, thousands of internal documents obtained by The New York Times from the Environmental Protection Agency, state regulators and drillers show that the dangers to the environment and health are greater than previously understood.


The documents reveal that the wastewater, which is sometimes hauled to sewage plants not designed to treat it and then discharged into rivers that supply drinking water, contains radioactivity at levels higher than previously known, and far higher than the level that federal regulators say is safe for these treatment plants to handle."
