Review by the Natural Resources Defense Council on contaminated waste water

In Fracking’s Wake: New Rules are Needed to Protect Our Health and Environment from Contaminated Waste water, Natural Resources Defense Council – (Report published May 2012) –

It finds that the currently available options are inadequate to protect human health and the environment, but that stronger safeguards at the state and federal levels could better protect against the risks associated with this waste.
