It is a rebuttable presumption. Cabot asserted that this statutory provision of PA law was unconstitutional. DEP had substantial evidence for finding that gas had migrated to some water wells in Dimock, including comprehensive testing of the gas itself, inspections of the gas wells, gas pressure readings and more.John Hangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565915866938789295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664957094233317169.post-43526231931414823762012-01-11T15:39:49.220-05:002012-01-11T15:39:49.220-05:00Mike:

At one time, Cabot asserted that this statutory presumption in PA law was unconstitutional. I can also say there was extensive testing of the gas done to determine whether the gas in the various Dimock wells was thermogenic or biogenic. There was also extensive inspections of gas wells, including video taken, gas pressure readings and more. DEP did not make its Dimock findings lightly.John Hangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565915866938789295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664957094233317169.post-27419645272453176982012-01-11T15:27:31.248-05:002012-01-11T15:27:31.248-05:00Yoko,

According to PA law, ANY fouled water is the presumed liability of the gas company UNLESS the gas company has pre-drill tests to prove that it was pre-existing. Ask Cabot about this.Michael Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678133434815647612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664957094233317169.post-18113852982285228352012-01-10T14:18:04.172-05:002012-01-10T14:18:04.172-05:00I would think that DEP would hold Cabot to the hig...I would think that DEP would hold Cabot to the highest standard after what happened in Dimock.
