美EPA最终报告确认水力压裂活动会影响饮用水资源

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯12月13日华盛顿报道，美国环境保护署（EPA）周二发布了一份最终报告，EPA在这份最终报告中提供了有关“水力压裂活动在某些情况下会影响饮用水资源”的科学证据。

在最终报告中，EPA撤回了在其在2015年6月报告草案中作出的一个关键结论：报告草案声明EPA没有发现水力压裂活动在美国对饮用水资源造成广泛和系统影响的证据。

Final report from US EPA sees some drinking water impacts from fracking

Washington (Platts)--13 Dec 2016

The US Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday released a final report it said provided scientific evidence "that hydraulic fracturing activities can impact drinking water resources under some circumstances."

In doing so, the agency backed off of a key conclusion in its June 2015 draft report: a statement that the agency did not find evidence that fracking led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the US.
