Alberta accused of ignoring water well contamination by oil and gas drilling

Alberta accused of ignoring water well contamination by oil and gas drilling by The Canadian Press, May 1, 2007
Shawn Campbell says the Alberta government has refused to test the toxic cocktail of petro-gases that he says have poisoned his drinking water. … Campbell and wife Ronalie said they have 30 producing oil or gas wells on their 250 cow-calf operation. They discovered more than a year ago that their water well contained explosive gases like methane, ethane, propane, butane and pentane. He said they have fought the province unsuccessfully to have full comprehensive testing of their water. Environment Minister Rob Renner said he is not aware of any instances where the province has refused to test wells.
