The EPA acknowledges that some
of the "well known" concerns include "[s]tress on surface water and
ground water supplies from the withdrawal of large volumes of water
used in drilling and hydraulic fracturing"; "[c]ontamination of underground
sources of drinking water and surface waters resulting from spills,
faulty well construction, or by other means"; "[a]dverse impacts from
discharges into surface waters or from disposal into underground injection
wells"; and "[a]ir pollution resulting from the release of volatile organic
compounds, hazardous air pollutants, and greenhouse gases."

-
No known instances of
groundwater contamination have occurred from previous horizontal drilling or
hydraulic fracturing projects in New York State.
-
More information, including
general information about fracturing fluid additives, is available in the
report Hydraulic Fracturing Considerations for Natural Gas Wells in the
Marcellus Shale released in September 2008 at the Ground Water
Protection Council's Annual Forum.

When drilling or other
operations are delayed or interrupted by lack of water, labor or
materials, or by fire, storm, flood, war, rebellion, insurrection, riot,
strike, differences with workmen, or failure of carriers to transport or
furnish facilities for transportation, or as a result of some order,
requisition or necessity of the government, or as the result of any cause
whatsoever beyond the control of the Lessee, the time of such delay or
interruption shall not be counted against Lessee, anything in this lease to
the contrary notwithstanding.

"That defendant's water
flood caused salt water and oil to migrate from the cypress sands under
the Callis lease flooded by the defendant to the cypress sands under
plaintiff's land...
-
In September 1955, before the
well on plaintiff's land was plugged, defendant commenced waterflood
operations, which consisted of injecting salt water at high pressure
into the oil strata to force the remaining oil from the "cypress" oil sands
into the Callis operating wells.
-
Plaintiff alleged in her
complaint that the waterflood created a private nuisance, and the jury was
instructed on that theory of the case.
LIMBACH,
TAX COMMR., APPELLEE. WHITE, APPELLANT
-
95*95 Finally, appellant Lyons
argues that the "frac" tanks that store water at the well site are
excepted from taxation.

Equitable Production Company
-
There is a suggestion in the
record that ACE denied coverage because of the lapse of time between when the
Hagys' water was allegedly contaminated in 2007 or 2008 and when Warren
made its claim for coverage in 2010.
LANDMARK 4 LLC-2
-
Plaintiffs claim that these
chemicals were discharged into the ground or into the waters near Plaintiffs'
home and water well due to Defendant's negligent planning, training,
and supervision of staff, employees, and/or agents.
-
Plaintiffs have alleged that
Landmark engaged in hydraulic fracturing, using toxic substances, toxic fumes,
carcinogens, and otherwise ultra-hazardous materials and injecting those
substances below the ground surface under extreme pressure, in the vicinity of
private property and public or private water sources during their
drilling and production activities.
BIRDWELL, a division of Seismograph Service
Corporation
-
Defendant further alleged that
also as a result of plaintiff's fraud and negligence, the Dutcher Sand in the
well "was fractured into the production of water", and defendant lost
the value of the drilling of the hole, in the amount of $3200.00.
UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY-2
-
The EPA is also accused of
acting unreasonably in requiring injectors to show under subsections (f) and
(g) that there would be no migration of hazardous constituents outside the
injection zone via molecular diffusion.[11] CMA argues that the EPA's own
studies show that molecular diffusion causes hazardous constituents to migrate
only a small distance from the injection zone, and poses no significant threat
to underground sources of drinking water.
-
Section 6925(j) conditions a
variance from certain technological control requirements for certain surface
impoundments on the operator's proving that there will be "no migration of any
hazardous constitutent [sic] into ground water or surface water
at any future time."
