On Tues­day, Cabot Oil and Gas released an analy­sis of the data used by the Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion Agency to inter­vene in Dimock. The EPA is cur­rently deliv­er­ing water to four house­holds and test­ing the water of more than 60 homes in the Susque­hanna County town based on pre­vi­ous water tests pro­vided by Cabot, the Depart­ment of Envi­ron­men­tal Pro­tec­tion, and the res­i­dents them­selves. But Cabot says the EPA cherry-picked the data to come to a fore­gone con­clu­sion. The EPA has yet to respond  to Cabot’s cri­tique directly. For more on what Cabot has to say, here is the com­plete report.
