California Wants Frackers To Investigate Themselves...THAT Oughta Go Well...

"After testing just nine water supply wells for contamination from illegal oil industry waste disposal operations, California regulators admitted today that they do not plan to do any additional state testing of water wells near protected aquifers tainted by illegal disposal wells. In a letter sent to the federal Environmental Protection Agency, state officials said they’ve instead asked operators of 155 illegal oil industry waste disposal wells to themselves locate at-risk water wells and test for pollution. And they have not even yet asked oil companies to test for pollutants near hundreds of other wastewater disposal wells operating in protected aquifers."
