CHESAPEAKE APPALACHIA, LLC 

  • 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."

ENERVEST OPERATING, L.L.C. 

  • 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.

ASHLAND OIL & REFINING CO., INC. 

  • "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."

Ohio Department of Natural Resources 

  • Communications and correspondence between the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and other government agencies, including but not limited to U.S. EPA, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality, and Ohio EPA and any communications, meeting and conference notes, records, logs, guidance, requirements, technical documents, calculations, recommendations or comments from such agencies regarding Ohio EPA's permitting of Patriot's pretreatment system, the receipt and discharge of brine process water by Steubenville or East Liverpool, and, more generally, brine water pretreatment systems, the discharge of brine process water by such systems to wastewater treatment plants, and the disposal of brine water;?

  • Communications and correspondence between the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and companies, industries or individuals involved in underground injection of brine water or fracking water or the processing and treatment of brine water or fracking water.
