That response was a bit lame. The NYT articles - focus in on the fracking wastewater, their toxicity and the fact that Pa. has no place to dispose of the flowback or the treated sludge from - so it ends up contaminating streams. Texas almost 12,000 disposal wells - to get rid of the stuff - Pa. has none. So it has to tout "recycling" via dilution, etc. because it does not have any other option. EPA reports on toxicity were specifically cited in the reports.
