Water Contamination Map

The data source for the color by-town data
is the Laura Legere / Scranton Times Tribune
RTK with PA DEP dataset
(request of determination letters)
969 or maybe 971 total records.
The color bins follow a log scale.
Each color change is a doubling of # of complaints over the last bin.
Black dots are gas wells. Source: SRBC
You can blow this up to 26" x 38".
I intentionally chose to only look at "total number of complaints".
and to avoid "proven cases of contamination".
I believe the metric:
"How many people complained their water was bad; Where are they from?"
is a more scientifically unbiased sample than "proven cases of contamination".
This is because the PA DEP determinations are 100% based on politics and 0% based on science.
As far as I have been able to determine, the sole and final determination is the
Act 13 presumed liability distance (2,500'ft), which was determined politically,
by a deal between industry, lawmakers, and NGOs.
No journalist should use the term "proven cases", because this is simply one way the people who want to poison the earth can manipulate the process of proof.
