Three Ways the Implementation of the Clean Water Act is Leaving our Water Vulnerable Oil and Gas Wastewater Discharges.

A Clean Water Action report offers an in-depth look at produced water, the wastewater from oil and gas production activities—from fracking to enhanced recovery and more—that contains dangerous contaminants including salts, benzene, metals, and radioactive materials.
