I lived in Riverton Wyoming from 1969 to 1971 and was

director of a research project on the Wind River Reservation and a low income migrant worker family school in Riverton.

I purchased pork and ham from a  butcher company in Kinnear, Wyoming which is outside Riverton.

One day a friend took me to visit a pig farm that was more like a pig factory.  It was all concret flooring and metal walls with fenced off areas for each pig.  The pigs had their elimination area plumbed and the waste was piped out of the building.  I was told when I asked, where the waste went and was told it was pumped into the ground.  It was the most inhumane program to imagin.

The water polution that is being attributed to the fracking program in Wyoming in that same area could well be

because of the pollution from the " pig farms".

My late  husband was a geologist in Casper, Wyoming and was killed in an auto crash so I do follow the business and still  have some production plus minerals.

I thought this possiblity for the fracking flap might be caused by this pig practice.
