Recently a local paper ran a story about a Texas rancher whose groundwater is flammable, thanks to drilling operations under his property. http://www.star-telegram.com/news/story/786874.html
Now New York State officials are trying to prevent a similar problem, by restricting drilling near the city’s water supply. Revenues from drilling at this location would be matched by the cost to clean up contaminated water. http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=709513&category=STATE
