Last week, there was breaking news from EPA whistle-blowers that in 2012 the EPA abandoned an investigation of fracking-related water contamination in Dimock, Pennsylvania after an EPA staff member raised the flag that it was likely caused by fracking¹.

There's an unfortunate trend here, because they've also abandoned their fracking-related water contamination investigations in Pavillion, Wyoming² and Weatherford, Texas³.

This is unbelievable, and totally unacceptable.

Will you join me today in calling on President Obama and his new EPA administrator Gina McCarthy to immediately reopen these investigations and deliver safe drinking water to the residents of these communities while the investigations commence?http://act.foodandwaterwatch.org/site/R?i=egZWsTPol7SnKCbtRCiDsQ

Thanks for taking action,

Sarah Alexander Deputy Organizing Director Food & Water Watch act(at)fwwatch(dot)org
