FrackNation Page #2
We knew we had iron, manganese,
magnesium, aluminum,
chloride, sodium, strontium,
barium, three different
types of uranium,
two of them are weapons-grade.
And a host of other chemicals,
some I can't even pronounce
the names of them.
The state agency ordered Cabot
to stop drilling new wells,
to affected residents.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection
introduced a moratorium, a ban,
until they could study
the situation.
This meant no drilling by Cabot
in a nine-mile box around Dimock.
So it just put a kibosh
on everything.
We were 13 days out
from having a permit
where they actually could
come in and start drilling,
and all of a sudden
they couldn't do anything.
But Cabot, they put methane
in the water.
They polluted the water.
- No.
- Allegedly.
Yeah.
The next residence here
who have all kinds of claims of all
kinds of chemical contamination,
weapons-grade uranium, etc., etc.
In their well.
But they've never shown
any lab data to verify it.
They just claim it.
Meanwhile, every well around them
is active and online.
Sautner's claims about contaminants,
including weapons-grade
uranium in his water,
were greatly exaggerated,
or maybe even false.
Have you done
independent testing yourself?
We did, way back, you know,
maybe two years ago.
Two years ago
we did some testing.
But that, you know, I don't think
we've done any testing since that.
- Independent, you know.
- And what did that show?
I can't remember what that showed.
They said, they said the test results
weren't that bad,
but I don't know if the guy
was testing the water,
you know, testing
for the right things.
See, there's some kind of,
they gotta test 'em,
test it a certain way,
I forget how they said it,
but it was, uh...
I don't know how,
I don't know how they do it.
Can I get a sample of your water
to take to Ireland?
Yeah, I'll give you a jug.
I got jugs out in the...
But the water now?
I don't know what
it looks like today.
I mean, she said
it wasn't looking as bad today.
I mean, I got some, you know,
it changes from day to day.
One day it will be clearer,
and the next day it won't.
And Craig Sautner,
who claims his water is muddy brown
because of fracking,
was only able to produce clear water
when asked in front of a camera.
It does change, you know,
from one day to the next.
So how can you trust a well?
You know, all of a sudden
you get, say,
"Well, that looks okay but it does
have a little bit of stuff in there."
Say, well, then
that's fine to use,
and then the next day
