Of those confirmed cases, faulty well design and improper treatment were to blame. Both of which are currently regulated. I know this because the company I work has designed well sites, holding ponds, and consulted on treatment plants all of which are heavily permitted by EPA and DEP.

That said I don't agree with the idea to grid off the whole state and allow the gas companies free reign over private property.
