Tell the the Inspector General to release his report

We need to know why EPA dropped their investigation of the Range Resources water contamination case in Parker County, Texas

Back in 2010, the Lispsky family discovered they could light their water on fire, just after fracking began near their backyard.

Unfortunately, that symptom of contamination is all too common in gasland, but this time the EPA issued a rare emergency order, declaring that the Lipsky family was in immediate danger.

All signs pointed to fracking as the culprit, but just a year after scientific testing, EPA dropped the investigation.

We now have new information showing that the Lipskys are not the only family whose water became flammable shortly after fracking. But the EPA has been suspiciously quiet on the issue.

So, we're calling on the Inspector General to release his report on what happened to the EPA's investigation.

TAKE ACTION: TAKE ACTION: Ask the Inspector General to release his report so we can see why EPA abandoned a scientific investigation of water contamination from fracking.

Help uncover another dirty secret of the fracking industry.
