I am both a landowner and a person who has worked in the oil industry for many years. The chemicals are basically safe as the energy companies do not want some contingent liability hanutng them. I truly believe that this is their position. At the same time some of the people doing the work are marginal and too far from the top for the top people to control.
Therefore, in order to get the best of both worlds as a landowner - you need to viligently police your own property or your own water shed - become the potential squeeky wheel. Both you and the management of the energy company will benefit. The worst case is someone from Washington getting in the middle of it!

My wife and I have land in Bradford County. We haven't heard anything from the company who leased our land since last fall. All my information is coming from relatives who live in the area.
