During an Oct. 18 call, API representatives seized on recent U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data industry says contradicts the agency's draft suggestion that groundwater contamination in Pavillion, WY, stems from fracking to argue that the agency is not being scientifically rigorous as its crafts a congressionally mandated study on fracking's effects on drinking water nationwide.
