Fact: Creeks, streams and water supplies are being sucked dry for use in the fracking. And in Pennsylvania, water supplies re-generate quickly. Not quickly enough.
Have you been there? Have you seen this?
Fact: Water supplies are being contaminated from run-off and water table seapage. Please provide documentation other than anti-fracking propaganda.
http://www.sungazette.com/page/content.detail/id/540830.html Fact: Local roads are being destroyed because they weren't built to handle the heavy trucks that are now constantly on the road. A nice problem to have in a down economy. Those wells will provide far more tax revenues than the road damage caused to drill them. Fact livestock are being condemed because they "might" have consumed run-off from fracking operations. There's that 'might' again. hould have clarified. The gubment is claiming the "might" here. Not me. ://www.sungazette.com/page/content.detail/id/545449.html Fact: The gas boom has had a huge effect on the region, most of it very good but the downside cannot be ignored and must be dealt with. Yeah, but succumbing to left-wing anti-fracking agitprop is not the way to deal with it. Not everything you disagree with is agitprop.

Are you reading your own links? This isn't about hydrofracturing but drilling soap. The Hydrofacturing process had not begun yet.

From your second link:
http://www.sungazette.com/page/content.detail/id/545449.html

“No estimate was provided on quantity, but no creeks, streams or wetlands were impacted...

There was no significant threat to the environment in terms of any surface water sources.
