Below are links to copies of major documents
prepared as part of this effort to gather and analyze information related
to the potential impacts on underground sources of drinking water from
the injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids into coalbed methane wells.
Most documents are in HTML or Adobe PDF format. ��

EPA invited the public to report to EPA
known incidents of ground water contamination believed to be associated
with hydraulic fracturing of CBM wells. As described in a July
30 Federal Register notice [PDF
version (85KB PDF FILE, 3pgs)],
comments were due to EPA by August 29, 2001.
