They’ve been fracking and pumping under my house and neighborhood for a couple of years now.
Not one problem. You’d never even know it, except for the lease payment and small royalty checks.
That’s because our entire subdivision bargained with the drilling company, both for money and for specifics as to location of the site and environmental concerns. With horizontal drilling, well sites can be placed well away from homes and businesses.
Yep. Drillers do a good job of sealing and casing around those holes. Most often, the fracking happens way deeper than water tables anyway and presents no danger to aquifers.
