Aquatic life seemed to be "All Suds Up" after horizontal natural gas drilling with fracking chemicals.

Aquatic life faced days of suds from a drilling foamer which had a blend of different, complex, alcohol-ether-sulfates lingering around for months after drilling was completed. The suds went into West Sideling Hill Watershed.

Landowners are concerned about sudsy detergent foaming agents used in drilling known as surfactants, which can remove the protective layer from fish as stated in this link:

PA Dep cannot protect aquatic life, humans or wildlife because they don't have water testing standards yet developed with criteria to test for fracking chemicals with known substances which can be hazardous to the health of humans, wildlife and aquatic life.

PADep said they are in the process of developing aquatic testing guidelines for surfactants and other fracking chemicals which are listed at their website.

It seems the intense greedy drilling movement has preceded PA Dep's ability for preparedness to meet the outpacing environmental pollution.

Who was behind PA Benjamin's, who conveniently left out preparedness and accountability factors for Pennsylvania's environment?

Are you convinced or are you confused about the worth of natural gas drilling: Is the money from polluters worth environmental destruction? The root of all evil?
