we have we used to have a beautiful view. now we have this to look at bring them a little bit of money very little if they took us out of here and get back all the money i made off of it. ain't going to happen. someday you know an oil is all pumped out of the ground they will come back here and level it all out and turn it back into farmland but that's you know like i say it's going to be out of most of our lifetimes it would be out of mind for sure. you
12:31 pm
have nothing to say about where. i should say i have nothing to say you can suggest but they don't have to listen to you don't i mean you have no legal say in it put it that way so yeah they can put it wherever they want they don't need any your permission for a while under street follows a proper practice is i don't think will have a problem but there's always that if they don't then we could have an issue in the biggest issue would be to to ground water as i see it when we live out here in rural areas most of us defend. wells for our our drinking water and all the water we use in our homes so if that would happen it would be a very bad thing. as well the fracturing john that's where they pump the south. and the fluid and the
12:32 pm
other chemicals because they use acid is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that off into the ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill any kind of living organism of any car it kills it because one of our guy has. got some of it on his hands and i and i just i'm just swallowed his hand and we were bad because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is it's is wrong in the water. for this or it is as is the nobody drinks the water out of iron stepfather from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just is just like if you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night is in this state it's pretty nasty when we're fracking no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an
12:33 pm
a mistake and you drop one cup you have to clean it up and take it away with you it's not polluting north dakota the air is clean the water is clean. this is privately owned land this is not government land any less the environmental protection agency finds scientific proof that there is real pollution going on they won't be able to shut this down. and so far there is no proof. there's just. propaganda. is it possible to respect safety measures was tracking. down had to paint is advocating this notion and it attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely. the question is being raised as grass detention . of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice if i try the tracking

12:35 pm
a disposal facility. right here this is called a flare natural gas comes up with the oil and so they have to get rid of it so they just burn it off right here loyal comes out of the pump jack goes underground to the treaters in there it separates the oil the water in the gas this site here produces more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with a truck intricate out to get that disposal facility. keith there live sixty miles out of williston on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter of north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have thinkers land who. we have
12:36 pm
virgin land here and now there's oil roll would boil feel. at night time some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. rocking water it's all water logged you think into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that is going into our river going into our critics if went into our spot on. this is not in the water but it is you know they're not telling the truth. i have twenty nine grandchildren i want them to enjoy this river where i didn't want them to walk in the water one come to catch a fish if you can eat you don't want to grow garden did you would have to worry about poison in the planet i want to have a planet with better medicine if not before and now because of the things that are in the water. oil workers are best suited to judge the eventual pollution is caused by fracking.
12:37 pm
unfortunately this problem is not a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of work. during the journey phase radioactive to prepare out back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate dispose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. especially teams or that to ship them back to suitable treatment states. in north dakota no one with an oil rich piece of land will tell you that fracking could be an environmental hazard. doing so could jeopardize one of the best ways to get rich quick. of course aviva stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all signs turn red thanks to saudi. the staggering fall of the price per barrel of oil
