Certainly one of the worst fracking-related stories I have read. “Gushers of putrid, grayish water encrusted with chemical crystals flood through Wind River into nearby streams,” he added. Surface disposal of water produced by oil and gas drilling is forbidden in the Eastern U.S. but allowed in the arid West for purposes of “agricultural or wildlife propagation,” in the words of the governing federal regulation. Thus, the “produced water,” as it is called, must be “of good enough quality to be used for wildlife or livestock watering or other agricultural uses.”
