Fortuna's Rick Kesey recently said at a public meeting in Van Etten, NY that at their pilot Marcellus wells in Troy, PA they were recovering only about 40 percent of the frac fluids. Epsilon Energy's vice president of exploration David Hines told the Wyoming County Press Examiner this January that about 10 percent of the water used during hydraulic fracturing by Epsilon Energy returns. If you can't take the time to accurately research (and site) and answer a question, don't publish it. If you continue to promote gossip as "facts" you misplace the trust people have placed in your agency and contribute to the confusion and fear of a public with out access to accurate information.
