Anyone expect Corbett's DEP to honestly report on storm related fracking pond overflows?

I pass along these observations from Pittsburgh's Doug Shields. As you see in this photo of a typical fracking pond set-up - if this one overflowed, it would not only poison the surrounding farmland, but get into other bodies of water:

This storm is an opportunity for the DEP to determine the integrity of frack ponds.

With the predicted amounts of rainfall for the region, I have some very serious concerns about Frack Ponds and their ability to contain their contents.

If you have a Frack Pond in your area, keep an eye out for spills, overflows and the structural integrity of the impoundments. And document problems if you see them.

fracking on the Loyalsock Creek just north of Montoursville
