Some Pavillion residents rue being caught in fracking controversy by Dan Cepeda, June 7, 2013, Star-Tribune
Jeff Locker wants answers, not trouble. “I’m standing up for what I think is right, and I think that’s very important,” said Locker, an active member of the Pavillion Area Concerned Citizens, a small group of residents who want answers about their water. “I don’t want to antagonize my neighbors; I have no intent to do that,” he said. “But I’m not going to back down from what’s happening here.” It’s been a battle, he said, first with Encana Corp., the operator in the field, and sometimes with state officials. He’s grateful for the governor’s visits to talk about the problem and ongoing state work to get residents clean water, and he’s glad the EPA’s testing is showing some results. [Emphasis added]
