The state of Wyoming, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and two American Indian tribes have agreed to additional testing of groundwater that the federal agency says may have become contaminated by gas development that includes hydraulic fracturing. They also agreed to postpone a scientific peer review of a draft EPA report on the contamination in the Pavillion area in central Wyoming until after the additional sampling and analysis. The peer review had been scheduled to begin this month. A report released in December was the first time the EPA said that hydraulic fracturing may have polluted groundwater. Gov. Matt Mead said that the U.S. Geological Survey will conduct two more rounds of testing before July. The first round of testing will occur within the next month.
