Posted Mon Jan 7 2013: from Associated Press:
EPA fracking study may dodge some tough questions http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1357579182
An ongoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study on natural gas drilling and its potential for groundwater contamination has gotten tentative praise so far from both industry and environmental groups.

But a 275-page progress report was released in December and, for all its details, shows that the EPA doesn't plan to address one contentious issue -- how often drinking water contamination might occur ... for example, once every 100,000 wells or once every 1,000.
