Nat gas wells are 5-7,000 ft deep, water wells are a couple hundred feet deep. The fracking of wells is done in tight shale formations which are far below where water wells are located. As long as the drilling company uses proper procedures in lining the well with stell casing before fracking, the chance of these chemicals getting into the water bearing areas far above is 0.

The left's groundwater contimination propaganda against fracking failed. So now they have moved on to creating tales of the horrific dangers that disposing of fracking wasterwater presents. Radioactivity! Harsh chemicals! OMG, OHNOES!

This too shall pass - the BS has a fairly short shelf-life now that the MSM does not have a monopoly. But it has caused a downtick in NG development.

There you go with facts again. The shriekers will never learn/listen.

greens will use all the fearmongering they can to push us back into the stone age.

Can you provide me the contact information for a single professional geologist or hydrogeologist who believes this statement? I suppose there are some who have never installed or dealt with wells before, but to assume that casings and groutings are 100% is someone with little experience, IMO.
