Another thing I've learned over the past 4 plus years. Honest workers,truckers,opperators and laborers working around drilling/fracking are not experts in the field they are commenting on. Like you,friends of mine who were working around drilling sites. Come home at night and weekends and talk of what they saw. For instance one friend who worked for a rental company as a repair tech. Travelling to sites to repair or transport machinery. He tells me of leaking well sites. You know that rainbow colored shine of run off on burms. I became concerned,because of all the hype of frac fluid leaking from wells. It was early in my learning curve. I asked experts. The answer as to what I also was looking at while visiting a well site? The decomposition of the straw and other plant matter used to hold the burm in place is what caused the color. Other instances of people gossiping about what they see and their assessment of it fuels the fear. Leave it to the experts. Always ask,of course,but know. Before one passes along the info.What exactly was the fluid you saw and how toxic is it. LOOKS bad doesn't mean it is. Might be. What did you do? Report it? Or just spread the gossip? Everbody's job to hold all accountable.
