North Dakota Water Contaminated with Fracking Fluid

Now at this present time the clever lawmakers in North Dakota are doing everything they can to protect the Oil Companies working within the State.  They have gone out of their way to create laws to allow them to destroy our natural resources legally. I would like to see our Lawmakers, take oath, put their hand on a bible and state they are not aware of contamination by fracking in the State of North Dakota. Last I checked it was the job of the State to first and fore most protect the welfare of the citizens of the State. Now I do believe welfare would include clean air and water being top on the list. But in the State of North Dakota it is the welfare of out of state Oil Companies and tax dollars that over rule human life, they furiously try to pass laws before it becomes common knowledge to the public that our water and air is contaminated.  Now I doubt that any North Dakota State official will admit to anyone that the water in North Dakota has already been contaminated with fracking fluid, but black and white facts prove IT IS.  Each day more private water wells and natural waterways are showing large amounts of inorganic compounds that just happen to be used in fracking, what a surprise. Why wouldn't it happen in North Dakota, it has happened in every other State that fracking takes place. Because our North Dakota Lawmakers have a handle on it!  And they actually think that we are stupid enough to believe this. Facts about fracking fluid in water:  it takes only 1% of fracking fluid in water to be deadly. Between 3,840,000 to 26,880,000 gallons of fracking chemicals to be used in one square mile — hardly a minor amount.  Of the chemicals identified by DEP as being used in fracking fluid, 34 are soluble, allowing them to move into surface and underground water. These include chemicals that cause cancer and disorders of the brain and nervous system, blood, and the immune system.  Twenty-one chemicals are readily airborne, including nine that cause reproductive problems and six known carcinogens. All the known airborne chemicals can harm the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract or liver — problems frequently reported near fracking wells across the U.S.  This is not only affecting human lives across the State but also our livestock, wildlife, animals and agriculture.  Represented on the Great Seal of North Dakota are all of the mentioned, perhaps our Lawmakers should take a look at this, as they have completely turned their backs on the welfare of the agriculture community.  They are allowing contamination of air, water and soil, three things that we will not live long without.
