Fort Worth, Texas residents showed their anger and fear about the impact of hydraulic fracturing on groundwater at a public meeting convened by the EPA. While the oil and gas industry states that "fracking" occurs far below the water table, citizens are concerned about water pollution. After revealing that local tap water tested positive for lead, arsenic, and other chemicals, Dish, Texas mayor Tillman demanded that the EPA not "let politicians cloud [their] decision." Additional public meetings are scheduled throughout the summer.
