Wyoming Gives Final Salute to Lance Corporal Sean O’Conner
According to Margaret Oler spokesperson for Rocky Mountain Power, the public park located at the Dave Johnston Power Plant, will be closed indefinitely until waters recede.
"I've had to work most Sundays And at times my talk was tough And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets were awfully rough"
Currently the plant is releasing water through control devices in order to manage water levels at the plant property. Doing so will allow safe operation of the power generating plant and continued production of electricity.
But I never took a penny, That was'nt mine to keep Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills just got to steep, And I never passed a cry for help Although, at times I shook with fear And sometimes, God forgive I've wept unmanly tears
The Park was closed to the public at the end of May because of high river flows, soil saturation and damaged access areas which created concerns for the safety of the public. The park however, is not under water.
I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here That never wanted me around Except to calm there fears
"It is expected that the high water situation will last another month or two" stated Oler. The park will remain closd during this time
Due to the continued problem of rising waters, no date has been set for the repair of, or re-opening of the park.
"Step foward now you soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek, And to my church have you been true?" The soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No Lord, I guess I ain't, Because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be saints
by Amanda Smith
Oler stated that repairs to the park can be started only after the waters recede. Once the repairs are completed the park will reopen to the public.
The soldier stood and faced his God Which must always come to pass He hoped his shoes were shining Just as brightly as his brass
If you have a place for me here O' Lord It needn't be so grand I've never expected, or had so much But if you don't I'll understand" United States Marines carry one of their own, Lance Corporal O’Conner, towards the coach that will take him to his final resting place at Douglas Cemetary in Douglas, Wyoming.

Lance CPL Sean O’Conner of the United States Marines was laid to rest at Douglas Cemetary in Douglas, Wyoming on Wednesday June 22nd, 2011. He was killed in combat in Helmand Province Afghanistan on June 12th, just a few
weeks prior to his completion of his service to our Country. Hundreds from the State of Wyoming arrived to pay tribute to this young man who fought for our Country, inlcuding Wyoming’s Governor Matt Mead, as well as over
one hundred veterans, most of which formed a line of motorcycles in front of and behind O’Conner’s funeral procession. “Lance

Effective July 1, - Concealed CNFR Holds Special Rodeo For Special Olympiads Weapons Permit To Carry No Longer Required
Effective July 1, 2011, Wyoming will no longer require permits for concealed carry by Wyoming residents[14] [16] (in addition to unrestricted open carry, which is currently in effect). Non-Wyoming residents will still be required to obtain a concealed carry permit. The state of Wyoming will continue to issue permits to residents for reciprocity reasons,
much as Alaska does.
Governor Mead calls the new law an “appropriate law for Wyoming.” And many Wyomingites agree. The law will go in to effect this coming Friday, July 1.

Pyatt’s Pieces Saving a Species, Wyoming is the First State in Discovering a New Genus: the Country to Glenrock Dino Lecture a Success “Go ”
The Glenrock Historical Commission's Summer Lecture Program kicked off Thursday evening with a lecture by dinosaur enthusiast and field paleontologist Jessica Smith. Her pride for Glenrock's dinosaur discoveries translated into a rousing speech that shared not only the story of Stephanie but the history of Wyoming's paleontological research. An enthusiastic audience came away with a better understanding of Glenrock's place
as a Pony Express home station and a must stop hamlet on the Oregon Trail. As we delve deeper into the history of Glenrock we begin to see its relationship with the larger western story and the establishment of nearby towns such as Casper, Parkerton and Douglas. Our humble little home places a magnifying glass on the story of the old west highlighting all the cultural and social groups that make up America's pioneer and entrepreneurial
Commemorating another Wyoming first, Governor Matt Mead, State Chief Information Officer, Flint Waters and the President of Enterprise at Google, David Girouard, announced on Wednesday June 23rd that all 10,000 of Wyoming’s state employees have now migrated to Google Apps for Government. This puts all of the employees on a single email platform for the first time. Gov. Matt Mead said in a news conference Wednesday that the migration to Google will save the state more than a $1 million a year. Previously the state used more than 13 different platforms.

in modern dinosaur research.
spirit.
Smith discussed how the discovery of Stephanie's skull on the Dunham Ranch two decades ago not only established the Paleon museum but actually saved Stephanie's entire species. The history of the American bone wars was fascinating and a quick lesson in understanding dinosaur names well received.
June 30, Rachel Grant will discuss the history of the Sno-Shoe ranch and the intimate connection between small western towns and their outlying ranching communities. All lectures are free, from 6 to 8 P.M. (time includes question and answer session) and the public is encouraged to attend. Lectures are will be held at the Glenrock Branch Library, are suitable for all ages and refreshments will be served.
This coming Thursday June 23, Nena Grilley, a former geologist and graduate of Syracuse University will share the rich and early history of Glenrock and its relationship to the Mormon Trail. Early settlement will be discussed as well as the LDS' role in establishing Glenrock
“As all of you know, one of my top priorities is moving technology forward in Wyoming,” Governor Mead said this morning. He also said the agreement with Google Apps is exciting. “This is cloud based computing and has many advantages. It provides an opportunity for employees to communicate with one another better; it provides an opportunity to share documents; it is going to save the state of Wyoming over a million dollars per year; it is go-
ing to provide better security and better storage capacity and ultimately it will allow us to do our jobs better because we now have a better tool.” The Governor and State CIO Waters thanked state employees for their work to move to a new email platform. Waters said, “Once again we are leading the world in how we innovate. We are a small state by population but we are moving forward very well.” The President of Enterprise at Google, David Girouard, came to Cheyenne to mark this occasion. “Wyoming likes to be first and that is a great message to us,” Girouard said. “This is the first state-wide implementation of Google Apps, so it's something we're very excited to partner with Wyoming on." He also said he was heartened to hear that the Governor’s Office wanted to be on the leading edge of this implementation. Governor Mead and his staff were in the first wave of employees to move to Google Apps. Governor Mead ended this event by saying that he will always look for ways for state government to operate more effectively and efficiently.
“No! A Better Economy Won’t Fix It!”
by Mike Pyatt
Someone asked the question not long ago, “Where’s William Bennett when we need him?” In case you don’t recall, Dr. William Bennett is the former Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan, as well as the former Drug Czar. Some describe him as the “morals maven”. He has written far and wide on a variety of cultural, educational and moral issues, and has long been the darling of conservatives. In 1992 he sounded a clarion voice about the crisis in American Education, and the widening cultural gap between religion and political life, and the moral consequences.
In his book, America’s Revolt Against God, Bennett maintains that it is the “corruption of the heart” that inflicts our nation, and the result is a litany of social pathologies-crime, rising illegitimacy, unbridled pornography, and a mercurial rise in dependency on the role of government. As a result, many from both sides of the political isle agree on the moral and cultural decline. The disagreement is how to “fix it”.
Having taught Economics at two universities, it seems elementary that the economic path we now pursue will plunder the free market as we know it, and at some point send us headlong into a monetary chasm. Bennett agrees that material abundance only hastens the decline, and political or economic reform won’t reverse the slide.
Many of us have watched our 401k’s shrink, while the demand on our budget has burgeoned. That is less painful, in my opinion, than the shrinking of the moral fiber that reflects a loss of a vibrant faith that once impacted the public square, both individually and corporately
The internet is both a bane and a blessing. Having instant access to photos of my 2 year old grand-daughter back in Indiana is gratifying and heartwarming. Simultaneously, young girls, not yet in their teens, perform nude and lewd acts on websites, seemingly without an apparent wince of conscience. Where are their parents? Who is watching out for their souls? Sadly, these moral failures cut across economic, political, and religious backgrounds, and they are no respecter of one’s station in life. Too, there was a day when children found a safe haven in the presence of priests and the clergy in their community.
Some have proffered, “Let the whole thing fail, and we’ll get back to what matters!” Not all agree with such quixotic conclusions. There has been no “golden age” morally. We are all fallen and in need of redemption. Bennett himself confessed in 2003 that his gambling habit had spiraled out of control. Such pronounced lack of self-discipline soon follows a protracted moral decline, and the United States is not exempt from the cause and effect that God has put in place for such violations of His law. As a nation, many believe, we are unique; but not exempt from crossing the moral barriers that ultimately usher in an idolatrous (not the ones made of stone) culture.
In our nation’s over-reaching emphasis on tolerance and diversity, we now tolerate that which was unfathomable years ago. The loss of absolutes has rendered us morally impotent to do battle against a growing onslaught of moral attacks. We now face a culture where the only absolute is “there are absolutely no absolutes”. Therefore, if the economy should “turn around”, please hold off on the celebration.
In the late 1950’s, school principals were faced with such daunting dilemmas as gum chewing in class(students stuck it under their desk and chairs), truancy, and the brass brads on Levi’s scratched and marred the chairs and desks. Today, many school districts must be concerned with the brass bullets in the gun that eluded the metal detector No, the economy won’t fix that. Many conclude it is spiritual, not economic, impoverishment. What do we do to confront such vexing pathologies? What do you think?

Fireworks/Juveniles Responsible For Casper Grass Fire
At 5:51pm on Tuesday June 21st, 2011 Fire crews from Natrona County Fire District, Mills Fire Department and Casper Fire/EMS responded to the report of a grassfire west of Casper located at the end of Village Drive in an undeveloped area of the Riverwest subdivision. This area has a history of human caused fires.
Arriving fire units found a small grassfire actively burning in grass and sagebrush. The fire burned approximately a tenth of an acre. Fire crews were able to
quickly contain and extinguish the fire before it could threaten any nearby homes. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is from fireworks. Three juveniles were seen leaving the area as fire crews arrived on the scene. The Natrona County Fire District and Casper Fire\EMS would like to remind everyone that discharging fireworks anywhere inside of Natrona County is illegal. Anyone with information about this fire can contact the Natrona County Fire District at 307-2344679.
Wyoming Personal Income Growth Second In U.S. by Bill McCarthy CHEYENNE – Wyoming’s personal income grew at a rate of 2.6 percent for the first quarter of 2011, second out of the 50 states. In the fourth quarter of 2010, personal income grew in the Cowboy State at 0.7 percent. Based on estimates released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis on Tuesday personal income for the Rocky Mountain region grew at 2 percent while the U.S. recorded growth of 1.8 percent, a state economist said. Wyoming’s first quarter growth led the region, followed by Montana, Utah, and Colorado. Idaho trailed the region with a growth rate of 1.8 percent and a national rank of 26. The BEA noted that personal income increased in all 50 states with North Dakota’s growth of 6.9 percent being the best in the nation. According to the BEA, the low-
ering of the personal contribution rate for social security explained a good deal of the first quarter personal income growth in most states. Personal income is defined as income received by all persons from all sources, and that includes wages, interest and dividends, rents, and government transfer payments. Jim Robinson is senior economist for the state’s Economic Analysis Division. Wyoming has had five consecutive quarters of income growth, Robinson said, which is directly related to the state’s improving job market. Earnings growth in mining, farm, and transportation/warehousing had the largest impact on the state’s income growth, Robinson said. Real estate and management of companies were the only two industries that recorded declines for Wyoming.

Town Of Medicine Bow Recognized For Wind Turbines At Water Facilities Recovery Act investments in renewable energy The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today presented awards to the Town of Medicine Bow, Wyo., for the innovative use of green energy in its water and wastewater treatment operations. Diane Sanelli, director of EPA’s state revolving fund program in Denver, presented Mayor Kevin Colman a Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) award and a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) award. In 2010, the Town of Medicine Bow received a $64,908 CWSRF loan and a $51,896 DWSRF loan from the Wyoming State Lands and Investments Office and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality to install nine wind turbines at its sewage and drinking water fa-
cilities. Each loan was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and was subsidized through 100% principal forgiveness via the Recovery Act’s Green Project Reserve. Water and wastewater treatment are energy-intensive processes. Using renewable energy sources to help power these systems offers clear benefits for environmental results and sustainability. The turbines are rated at 2.4 kW each for a total rating of more than 21 kW. The town will use the wind power to offset electricity demands. “Medicine Bow is an example for other communities looking to become more energy and cost efficient,” said Sanelli. “In the long run, these are investments that will help reduce water and wastewater utility costs and reduce pollution.”
With the passages of the Amendments to the Clean Water Act in 1987, and to the Safe Drinking Water Act in 1996, the U.S. Congress made funds for water infrastructure improvements readily available. EPA’s state revolving fund program provides low-interest subsidized loans for water quality or drinking water projects. The program also emphasizes providing funds to small and disadvantaged communities. Nationally, CWSRFs have funded over $84 billion in water quality projects and DWSRFs have funded over $20 billion in drinking water projects.

Hot Coffee Hazardous to Justice in Wyoming? Deb Courson Smith, Public News Service - WY - Wyofile
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - A new documentary aims to put to rest the long-running rumors about the McDonald's "hotcoffee case" and traces how misinformation about the case was used in a campaign to limit consumer lawsuits. Nearly 20 years ago, Wyoming media was abuzz over the case, in which an elderly woman was awarded millions of dollars after suffering third-degree burns when a McDonald's coffee spilled in her lap. Many jokes circulated about the verdict, but the documentary, which premieres Monday on HBO, shows that it was no laughing matter for the woman involved - or for any consumer. "Hot Coffee" director Susan Saladoff connects how misinformation spread about the case contributed to the rise of forced-arbitration clauses and tort reform. "I wanted to tell the truth. I wanted people to understand that they were giving up their constitutional rights every day, and they didn't even
know they were doing it." When Wyomingites use a credit card, sign up for a cell phone or place a loved one in a nursing home, the fine print contains an "arbitration clause" which waives the signer's right to take a company to court for wrongdoing, injuries or death. The clauses are promoted as a way to keep prices low for consumers and protect against frivolous lawsuits. The hot-coffee case often is cited as a frivolous suit.
Saladoff has been criticized as not being objective enough while making the documentary. She was an attorney for 20 years.
Former Soviet Premier Gorbachev To Speak At Uw
by Bill McCarthy
CHEYENNE – Mikhail Gorbachev who led the Soviet Union during the final years of the Cold War will speak at the University of Wyoming this fall.
Gorbachev Gorbachev will speak Oct. 14, at UW’s Arena-Auditorium. The event will be open to the public and will occur during UW’s Homecoming weekend. Additional details are being completed. Gorbachev took over the premiership of the Soviet Union as a reformer. His loosening of repression unleashed forces he could not control and led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Attorney Bryan Ulmer, president of the Wyoming Trial Lawyers Association, saw the documentary at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. He says the reactions in the audience were notable when photos of the woman's injuries were shown - and when the dots were connected between distorted information about the case and the campaign to limit consumer court rights. "Shocked about how we, as the public, have been misinformed and manipulated by persons who would weaken public access to justice for their own monetary gain."

NEWS FROM THE NEST
Barrasso: Open Up America’s Wyoming Left Out Of Energy Reserves – National Hydraulic-Fracturing Study Not Our Emergency Reserves DENVER – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today identified seven sites for case studies on the impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water – none in Wyoming.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is used to recover naturalgas through a process of pumping water, sand and chemicals into geologic formations deep n in the earth under high pressure. d None of the study sites are in y Wyoming. Crude oil and natural gas were produced in 20 of Wyoming’s 23 counties during 2009 and the state ranked sec, ond in natural gas production e for that year. s The study is congressionally mandated. The EPA will begin field work in some of the selected regions this summer. n The EPA formed two study f groups. e e Two of the seven sites were selected as prospective case studies where EPA will monitor key aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process throughout the lifecycle of a well. Those areas are at Haynesville Shale in DeSoto Parish, La., and Marcellus Shale in Washington County, Pa.
areas where hydraulic fracturing has occurred for any impact on drinking water resources. Those are: Bakken Shale in Kildeer, and Dunn counties, North Dakota. Barnett Shale in Wise and Denton counties, Texas Marcellus Shale in Bradford and Susquehanna counties, Penn. Marcellus Shale in Washington County, Penn. Raton Basin in Las Animas County, Colo. The information gathered from the case studies will be part of an approach that includes literature review, collection of data and information from states, industry and communities, laboratory work and computer modeling. The EPA says the study will be conducted using peer-reviewed process open to public review. EPA said it invited stakeholders from across the country to participate in the identifying potential case studies and more than 40 case studies were nominated for inclusion. Sites were prioritized, according to EPA, based on geographic and geologic diversity, population at risk, whether a site is planned, active or completed, unique geological or hydrology features, characteristics of water resources, and land use.
Five retrospective case studies were selected and will examine
Obamacare Gives Employers 2 Bad Choices Small Businesses Will Either Pay Through The Roof – Or Stop Providing Coverage
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued 1,433 waivers to exempt over 3.2 million people from part of the President’s health care law. In order to prevent election year embarrassment, the Administration recently changed its waiver policy. After September, America’s job creators and other organizations will no longer have a way out of the law’s job crushing mandates. Today, Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) spoke on the Senate floor about HHS’ new waiver policy. He specifically discussed how the law will discourage future small business owners from offering health care coverage to their employees. Excerpts include:
“As business owners look into this and see how the health care law will cause their costs to providing insurance go up over the next two years. They are going to be lining up for waivers over the next few months. “Once again, we are witnessing the horrible economic impacts of this new law. “I also want to talk for a minute about what happens after this September deadline – after the door closes on waivers. “Let’s take a look at the economy: 9.1% unemployment, job creators sitting on the sidelines due to the significant expenses of trying to open a business.
“Hard working Americans who want to start a new business will be forced to choose between two less desirable choices. “One, they can offer high-cost, government approved health insurance – making it much more expensive for them to try to open a new business and hire workers. “Or number two, they won’t offer any health coverage at all because they can’t afford the health care law’s out of touch and expensive insurance mandates. “With the sky rocketing debt that we’re facing in this country, and a 9.1 percent unemployment, this Administration’s signature piece of legislation discourages America’s best and brightest from starting new businesses and providing for their employees.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (RWyo.) released the following statement regarding the Administration’s decision to release 30 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR): “Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created as a safeguard against emergencies and severe supply disruptions. The only severe supply disruption today is this Administration’s selfimposed shutdown of American energy.
“The White House has blocked offshore oil and gas production and made it more difficult to produce energy onshore. Oil production in the Gulf of Mexico is estimated to drop 20 percent in 2012 from 2010 levels. The Environmental Protection Agency is blocking offshore energy exploration in Alaska. Each day, we witness more examples of
how this Administration is making our energy problems worse. “In addition to opening up the SPR, the Administration also praised other countries today for their commitment to producing more oil – and encouraged other countries to follow suit. Instead of championing foreign energy and releasing oil from our emergency supply, the White House should free America’s energy producers from Washington’s red tape.” Senator Barrasso is the only Republican member of both the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and Environment and Public Works Committee.
Just a reminder, always call before you dig.
Enzi: Two Year Budgets Needed To End Washington’s Spending Spree After more than two years without a budget and trillions of dollars in red ink, U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., is once again taking a stand to get Washington to stop its ballooning spending addiction. Enzi, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, introduced the Biennial Appropriations Act today, which would require Congress and the President to use biennial budgeting. This would allow more oversight and transparency to a process that is often manipulated at the expense of taxpayers, according to Enzi. It would also allow Congress more time to consider individual appropriations bills instead of massive “take it-or-leave it” omnibus bills. “The budget process in Wash-
ington has been broken for decades,” said Enzi. “The sheer size and complexity of the federal budget and the process we have today virtually guarantees that Congress will not consider all of the appropriations bills it is supposed to consider each year. Because of that, we are stuck with continuing resolutions and one massive spending bill at the end of the year to fund the entire government under the threat of a government shutdown. That is never good for the American taxpayer,” said Enzi. “The Wyoming State Legislature uses biennial budgeting. It allows legislators the necessary time to consider the needs of the state and then evaluate how money was allocated. Wyoming’s process works and the federal government could take a page from that process.”

be a matter of life and death. For more safety information, visit rockymountainpower.net/safety.
Enzi’s bill would require the President to submit a two-year budget resolution at the beginning of each Congress. Congress would then adopt a budget resolution. Following adoption of a budget resolution, Congress would focus on appropriations bills. Each year Congress would debate the Defense Appropriations bill. However, the other appropriations bills would be split into two groups. The more controversial bills would be debated in the first year of a session of Congress, the non-election year. Measures debated in the first year would include: Agriculture, Labor/Health and Human Services, and Interior. The less controversial bills would be debated in the second year of a
session of Congress, the election year. Bills considered in that year include: Legislative Branch Appropriations, Homeland Security, and Financial Services. The bill would also mandate at least one joint oversight hearing with the appropriate authorizing committee and appropriations subcommittee in the off-appropriations year. Enzi said this would force Congress to identify spending priorities and then allocate money with enough time to see the money used as it was intended before the next budget cycle begins.
Because he is such a strong proponent of biennial budgeting, Enzi is a also cosponsor of biennial budgeting legislation introduced by Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Senator Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. That legislation would require all appropriations bills considered in the first year and focus on oversight during the second session.
“Change will not be easy because people have learned how to take advantage of the current system, or just ignored the system and passed extension after extension. Wyoming has figured out a system that works and Washington should follow suit,” said Enzi.
“That’s what the President’s health care law does – it stifles innovation, strangles the free market and saddles the American people with more debt. “Once again, this is another example of how the President’s health care policies are making things worse. “His policies are making the economy in America worse. “His policies are making the standard of living in America worse. “His policies are making health care in America worse. “And his policies are making America’s debt worse.”

to us today. We can’t, however, legislate morality. Beware of the imposter. In a world where it is relatively easy to mimic that which we admire, it’s easy to be duped by those cowboy wanna-be’s who wear the hat and the shiny dime-store belt buckle. Let’s face this reality: little boys still want to grow up to be cowboys and little girls still want to grow up to marry them. So how do we tell the real deal from the phony baloney? The real cowboy image has depth, honesty and purpose that exists beneath the costume.
A real cowboy doesn’t spend a lifetime trying to get even, finding a shortcut or making life miserable for others. He leads by example. He is truthful, respectful of women, kind to children, caring of animals and holds his family and his ranch dear. He doesn’t lie, cheat or steal. He does what needs doing, and he does it to the best of his ability. It’s not a glamorous life. It’s full of hard work, long hours, few benefits and little praise.
So why does a modern society bent on the path-of-least-resistance and profit-at-any-cost still hold the cowboy icon in high esteem? Because deep down we still want to believe that the man beneath the hat is someone that we can look up to and revere. We want that which is good and honorable from our past to continue into our future. I'm just sayin....

BIRD ODDS and ENDS Critics Find Gaps in State Laws to Disclose Hydrofracking Chemicals by Nicholas Kusnetz ProPublica Over the past year, five states have begun requiring energy companies to disclose some of the chemicals they pump into the ground to extract oil and gas using the process of hydraulic fracturing. While state regulators and the drilling industry say the rules should help resolve concerns about the safety of drilling, critics and some toxicologists say the requirements fall short of what’s needed to fully understand the risks to public health and the environment.
protecting water supplies, leaving it up to states to decide what sort of regulations are needed to protect ground and surface water. Wyoming takes the lead Wyoming’s rules are the strongest in place, although it’s unclear how thoroughly they are being enforced. The rules require public disclosure of all the chemicals except for trade secrets, which drillers must submit for regulators’ eyes only. The only thing the rule lacks, critics say, is a requirement to report the concentration of the individual chemicals.
The regulations allow companies to keep proprietary chemicals secret from the public and, in some states, from regulators. Though most of the states require companies to report the volume and concentration of different drilling products, no state asks for the amounts of all the ingredients, a gap that some say is disturbing.
Three reports that were selected at random and reviewed by ProPublica appeared to leave out some of the chemicals used. Tom Doll, the state’s oil and gas supervisor, said his agency has two staff members reviewing each of the reports.
“It’s a shell game,” said Theo Colborn, a toxicologist who has testified before Congress about the dangers of drilling chemicals. Colborn and her organization, TEDX, examine the longterm health risks of chemicals and have opposed the expansion of drilling in Colorado and elsewhere. “They’re not telling you everything that there is to know.”
In Arkansas, manufacturers are not required to disclose proprietary fracking chemicals to regulators. Rules in Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania have similar exemptions. (See a summary of the state rules.)
Others say the regulations, despite some flaws, are moving in the right direction. “It’s just a step in the process,” said the Sierra Club’s Cyrus Reed, who worked on a bill signed into law in Texas on Friday. Most drillers have supported the measures. Some say more complete disclosure isn’t necessary because the information that remains secret involves only nonhazardous chemicals or trade secrets that are a small fraction of products they inject. Energy companies recently have begun voluntarily disclosing some of the chemicals they use on FracFocus, a web site run by two groups representing state regulators. “While we support disclosing our ingredients, it is critical to our business that we protect our recipe,” Tara Mullee Agard, a spokeswoman for Halliburton, one of the world’s largest oil and gas service companies, told ProPublica in an email. Gas drilling has surged across the country over the past few years due to technological advances that include hydraulic fracturing, in which drillers pump millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals underground to free up trapped deposits of natural gas. Energy companies are increasingly using the technique, dubbed “fracking,” in oil recovery, particularly in Texas and North Dakota. ProPublica first began reporting on health and environmental concerns surrounding fracking three years ago. Gas companies are exempt from federal laws
“They’ve obviously missed some of these,” he said.
Some environmentalists and toxicologists say the state rules give energy companies too much discretion. Companies can get trade secret protection, for instance, simply by asserting that disclosure would hurt their business and showing that details about a chemical are not otherwise public. More than 100 such exemptions have been granted in Wyoming, though most of the exempt products haven’t been used, Doll said. Advocates of disclosure say that, at a minimum, proprietary information should be on file with state regulators, as in Wyoming, so it can be accessed quickly in an emergency. Federal law already requires chemical manufacturers to share trade secrets with health care providers in emergency situations, but getting the information into the public domain can be a slow process, said Daniel Teitelbaum, an adjunct professor of toxicology at the Colorado School of Mines. “If you call someone on Saturday … it may be Tuesday before you can find someone who has the actual formula,” said Teitelbaum, who has worked for environmental groups on disclosure and chemical safety. “It is not a straightforward process by any means.” On April 19, fracking fluids spilled during a blowout at a Chesapeake Energy well in Pennsylvania. While no one was directly injured, Brian Grove, a company spokesman, said a full ingredient list was provided to state regulators the following day and to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a week af-
ter the spill. Chesapeake voluntarily posted the list to FracFocus on May 13.
search to identify potential hazards for less than 2 percent of them.
The mixture of fluids used to fracture a well generally contains several different products, which themselves can contain multiple chemical ingredients. While the industry has used hundreds of chemicals to frack wells across the country, the mixture regularly includes ingredients such as hydrochloric acid, methanol, a disinfectant called glutaraldehyde and petroleum distillates.
Researchers with TEDX, Colborn’s organization, have reviewed Material Safety Data Sheets for 980 products used in natural gas production and found that for more than 400 of them, manufacturers listed less than 1 percent of the product’s total composition.
These chemicals usually comprise a tiny fraction of the overall mix, but since wells are injected with millions of gallons of fluid, the mix can include thousands of gallons of a chemical that can be toxic at low doses.
“What’s there is what the product manufacturer wants you to know,” Colborn said. Without knowing all the ingredients, she said, it’s impossible to anticipate the chemical reactions that can occur as the products mix and react not only with each other but with whatever is present underground.
Deciding what’s hazardous
Volume, concentration are keys
Colborn and other toxicologists say one area of concern involves how “nonhazardous” chemicals are treated. Pennsylvania, Michigan and the FracFocus web site only disclose hazardous substances as determined by a product’s Material Safety Data Sheet.
Colborn and others say that knowing the concentration or volume of the individual components is also important to measure toxicity, and because various concentrations may behave differently as chemicals break down and react with others underground.
Chemical manufacturers are required to list health hazards and ingredients that contribute to those hazards on these sheets, which are filed with the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The sheets don’t have to list ingredients that are not considered hazardous, however, or chemicals that may damage the environment but haven’t been shown to harm humans. In determining what to report, manufacturers are not required to do their own testing and may rely on existing research that many toxicologists consider inadequate. “We have just extraordinarily poor information on the whole portfolio of health effects that are possible from industrial chemicals,” said Michael Wilson, director of the Labor Occupational Health Program at the University of California, Berkeley. “In the great majority of cases, that information is not going to appear on a [Material Safety Data Sheet], in most cases because it’s not known.” OSHA acknowledged as much in a 2004 report on chemical hazard communication. “Even the best available evidence may not provide sufficient information about the hazardous effects or the way to protect someone from experiencing them,” the report said. The report noted in particular a lack of research on chronic health effects. Chris Tucker, a spokesman for Energy in Depth, a drilling industry group, said chemical suppliers evaluate every product, so if an ingredient doesn’t make it onto an safety data sheet, it doesn’t pose a threat to human health. ”That’s why it’s nonhazardous,” he said.
Texas, Arkansas and Wyoming, while requiring disclosure of all chemicals used, do not require companies to provide the concentrations. The federal government regulates oil and gas drilling only on federal lands, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in November that he was considering requiring disclosure of fracking fluids for wells under federal jurisdiction. No action has been taken so far. Some environmental groups and members of Congress have pushed for a nationwide database. Currently, drillers are not required to report fracking chemicals to the federal government unless they contain diesel, but the proposed FRAC Act would require disclosure across the country. So far, more than 40 oil and gas companies are voluntarily disclosing some of their chemicals on the FracFocus website. Using the site, anyone can identify individual wells and find out the hazardous chemicals that were injected into them, including the maximum concentration at which they were used.

Mike Paque, executive director of the Ground Water Protection Council, an association of state regulators that is overseeing the site, said the organization is discussing whether to expand the disclosures to include nonhazardous chemicals. The site does not list proprietary chemicals, although it notes when they are used. (See our annotated fracking disclosure form for a closer look.)
There are more than 80,000 chemicals registered for commercial use with the EPA, and Wilson said there is enough re-
