4:31 pm
chemicals because they use as it is one they use a chemical called bio bio it kills all biological elements so so when they pumped out that off in a ground any kind of bacteria is going to kill it any kind of living organism of any kind it kills it because of one of our guy has he. he has some of it on his hands and light and i disturb just won't his hand it will be because that's what my old bio bio kills biological. anything. i'm pretty sure is is wrong in the water. for his fruit is as is a nobody drinks the water out of. from north dakota i think everybody drank so bottled water you know it just it's just like you ever. drop water on the out of the faucet night isn't this it is is pretty nasty when we're fracking.
4:32 pm
no oil or grease is allowed to be spilled on the ground if you make an 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 on 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 tracking. down how to paint is advocating this notion in attempt to avoid all risk of polluting groundwater it seems to success is very unlikely. the question is me raised to express the intention of anti-fashion groups. one thing is certain the practice of hydraulic fracking to be

as large quantities of drinking water. ten young is the owner of eclipse services a company that facilitates the shipping of water for fracking through pipelines and provides water storage and its huge tanks as well. these things are used to hold water for the fracking. thirty five thousand barrels and so they'll pump water from one to the other until eventually it's pumped over to the frac and down the hole. it's fresh water all the water thrown in here is coming out of the city water line so it's all clean water. you know those spent millions of dollars on water for one frack is one of the biggest expenses or one of these wells the price. of the water after the frac they just log back out of the ground and they all off. to
4:34 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 the oil comes out of the pump jacks goes underground to the treaters and there it separates the oil the water in the guess this site your produce is more water than what they can pipeline out here so i have to come in with a truck intricate out to get to disposal facilities. keith air live sixty miles out of the list and on fort berthold reservation for black gold flows freely and accounts for one quarter north dakota's production. this oil field isn't all that good for everybody we have sacred land here we have virgin
4:35 pm
land here and now there's oil roads. build. at night time some of these trucks to drive along gravel roads and they don't poison. fracking water it's all water and all these things into the ditch. because they're too lazy to drive to the dump station and that is going into our river going into our cricks it's going into our stock pond. 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 can to catch a fish that you can eat you know want to grow a garden and to do and have to worry about poison in the plant i want to have plants with their medicine it's not deformed now because of the things that are in this water. oil workers are. best suited to judge the eventual pollution risk caused by fracking.
4:36 pm
unfortunately this problem is not a priority they are in survival mode first and foremost they are in need of work. during the drilling phase radioactive debris brought back to the surface is a major risk for workers and the environment some companies clearly are not concerned and do not hesitate to suppose of these toxic materials into wild dumps. especially teams are left to ship them back to suitable treatment say it's. 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 all beautiful stories have been in rhetoric christmas two thousand and fourteen all science turned red thanks to saudi arabia the staggering fall of the

will be a supply and demand reversal whereas now we're oversupplied will be under supplied and the price will shoot up. between now and then it will go like this and at some point it will go up. and if the price go ever goes to one hundred and it will someday. north dakota will be crawling with workers looking for housing and there will be a huge labor shortage the companies will be throwing money at us. now we're mostly working for folks who have oil rigs oil pumps on their land and they have those monthly checks coming in from the old companies and they're spending money on their homes. or lot of people have disappeared out here who gone back home i guess i know some are gone back to bozeman big sky area because constructions doing ok there some went back to minneapolis some to idaho but yeah
