Proposed Fracking in George Washington National Forest Meets Broad Opposition
From the Los Angeles Times:
“The headwaters of the Potomac River rise amid the hills and hollows of George Washington National Forest in Virginia. … About 4 million people depend on that water. For decades, the U.S. Forest Service identified preserving its purity as the top priority for the national forest. Now, the agency is considering allowing George Washington to become the first national forest to permit high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.”
