Does this help you, Dave? Once an aquifer is contaminated, it may be unusable for many, many, years. And the EPA says your WRONG about oil not contaminating water tables. Don't be too harsh on Dave. In the beginning of this discussion, he thought they fracked the water out of the rocks...........had no idea that an aquifer contains pools of water. The sad part of this pipeline expansion is we could easily live without it. But Rs loves anything that hurts the environment and helps their corp masters so they will fight diligently to get it built.

>> And the EPA says your [sic] WRONG about oil not contaminating water tables. It wasn't me saying it. It was the absolute authority on the subject related to the specific aquifer in question. The EPA, of course, is not a reliable commentator on the matter. Having been involved in the cleanup of "contaminated" real estate in the past I'm familiar with the nonsense. But staying on topic, the point is that this particular aquifer cannot be contaminated by oil from a spill on the surface. To put in terms used by the expert on the subject, it is a "physical impossibility." I'm not just trying to argue with you; just suggesting that you may want to make yourself a little more informed before you run off at the mouth.
