chemically treated water is blasted down a well. the process fractures the rock, freeing the oil and allowing it to move to the surface. the government report notes concerns over well leaks and waste water spilling above ground. the agency didn't pinpoint any damage related to the fracking deep underground itself. >> what we found is that although the -- the overall incidence of impacts is low, that there are vulnerabilities. >> reporter: the epa is taking a tougher stance than ever before. language in an earlier draft of the report downplaying fracking concerns was removed. it said -- we did not find evidence that these mechanisms have let to widespread systemic impacts on drinking water resources. epa science adviser, tom burke explained why they omitted the lighter language. >> the gaps in information unfortunately, do not allow us to, to say, how much, what is the rate of the impact. and so that sentence was removed. this is fear mongoring at its worst.

petroleum institute says the report is disappointing. >> the underlying data is strong. it shows the that hydraulic fracturing is an engineering technology that is not creating widespread systemic impacts to the environment. the data is clear. >> reporter: according to the energy information administration, fracking accounts for 60% of this year's domestic oil production. we reached out to the company that fracked near elizabeth falconer's home, but have not heard back. as for falconer, she says she is not anti-fracking, shet jus s wantit done properly. >> the cbs "overnight news" will be right back.
