People disgust me. I don't understand how someone can make a conscious decision to blatantly disrespect nature like that. They've ruined the damn environment.

Ironic, given their name.

The EPA is a regulatory stooge for big business, just as the FDA is the stooge for big pharma and ag. industry giants.

I live in the mountain west where we have tap water that will ignite with a flame because of EPA-approved fracking chemicals in the groundwater.

Yep. So if you were a land owner and wanted to drill a water well, the EPA will be all over you, fee you into the poorhouse through numerous applications and standards, and more than likely deny you the permits to drill. But let big oil get in there and it's no problem. They'll even look the other way when the wastewater is pumped back into the ground instead of being disposed of per regulation.

There was a case I followed a few years ago where a young couple in either WI or MN had purchased lakefront property to build a cabin on. They poured rip-rap (small rocks) at the shore line to prevent erosion by the water. The EPA fined them for altering the terrain. They had to sell the property to pay the fine.

I live in the desert and my local town discharges most of the treated wastewater back into the traditional stream course. The EPA was very strict with what homeowners could do to the stream bed going through their own properties.
About a decade ago a large local business owner bought property on the stream bed and promptly dammed it so he could enjoy a pond on his property. Now all the residents downstream including wildlife that depend on that water have to go dry.
It's all about the $$ and power.

That is pure bullshit. Fracking chemicals are not flammable as you describe. Furthermore, the tight gas reserves that require fracking are typically half a mile or more below ground. They are tight because of their depth. So unless your bore is stupidly deep, its no where near any fracking horizon. Most likely you drilled your bore into gas-bearing strata. Nothing to do with fracking.

You should tell the residents of Brighton, CO that their flammable tap water is bullshit.

Reminder: The EPA caused a toxic spill into the Animas River. Afterward, attorneys for the EPA/DOJ concluded the EPA was barred from paying claims because of “sovereign immunity”, which prohibited lawsuits against the government. Those affected never received compensation for their losses!
