FYI, that is the southern hills aquifer recharge zone. Southern Hills aquifer being where BR gets its water from. I'm not saying fracking is the devil, but I am saying that all activities above and below ground in a vital aquifer recharge zone should be carefully thought out.

We'll no shite
I would imagine they certainly have someone qualified to make decisions on fracking around natural aquifers

what's the depth of that aquifer? fracks occur 10-20 thousand feet below the ground.
that's 2-4 miles below ground for those playing at home.

The hydrocarbon zone is much deeper then the aquifer and there are impermeable layers that separate the two.
Fracking has been going on safely for decades
