New information from a team of investigative journalists at Public Herald shows Department of Environmental Protection has systematically handled fracking-related complaints with misconduct.

Investigators fought with DEP for three years to obtain information on fracking-related complaints. What they uncovered is jarring. DEP has received over 9,400 complaints related to gas and oil impact. Within this data, the Public Herald alleges to have identified at least 177 water contamination investigations wherein DEP committed one or more of three types of official misconduct: malfeasance, misfeasance, and negligence.

Pursuing this potential criminal activity is the responsibility of the Office of the Attorney General.

*** We mentioned on the call this evening that you can make a short video that will be edited together with others making their own that we’ll use on Tuesday to promote the call in day
