Introduction
Toxics Targeting, Inc. is pleased to make publicly available U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) documents as well as state government data related to an Autumn 2008 incident when
850,000 residents near Pittsburgh, PA could not drink water drawn from the Monongahela River
due to high levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) reportedly associated with inadequately treated
discharges of natural gas drilling wastewater.
The scale of this drinking water crisis was unprecedented in American history.
Other documents involve toxics reported in natural gas drilling wastewater and EPA’s internal and
final comments regarding New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Marcellus
Shale draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (draft SGEIS).
