Nominees made to EPA report review panel

Wyoming and oil and gas industry officials have recommended a number of experts, including four from Wyoming, to review a recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report on well water contamination near Pavillion. Gov. Matt Mead submitted four names to the review panel and the industry jointly nominated 25. The panel's eventual five to seven members will be selected by an EPA contractor. The panel will meet in late March or April in Cheyenne to review the agency's draft report, which speculated a link between hydraulic fracturing and contamination found in some water wells in a rural area outside Pavillion.
