Cabot Oil & Gas has released information regarding complaints of methane contamination in water wells near Dimrock Township, Pennsylvania

摘要

The company's report showed that four drinking water wells in the area have methane in their well water that exceed levels suggested by the US Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining. Cabot added that it has provided investigators with proof that methane gas has been present in water wells in the area for generations and comes from natural sources. Cabot spokesman George Stark said, "We do not believe that our operations caused the Dimock water-quality issues. However, we are committed to addressing the issue and stand ready to immediately install systems that are proven to meet safe drinking water standards."
