He earns goodwill by hiring residents, building community centers, paving potholed roads and digging water wells.
Shallow-water wells, he said, usually produce gas, not oil, lessening the chance of a spill.
Then, between January and June 2012, EPA sampled drinking water wells serving 64 homes.

The deep-water wells that EPA drilled are located near a natural gas reservoir.
Most fracking today occurs 10, 000 feet deep or more, far below drinking water wells, which are normally less than 500 feet.
In contrast, with these ultradeep shallow water wells, Chevron is eyeing prospects that might be nearly as big as those deepwater finds.

In another Obama-era episode, two experts from the Wyoming Water Development commission charged that the EPA ignored its own guidelines in testing water wells when testing for fracking-related contamination.

Sooner or later, with or without highly restrictive drilling rules for offshore deep water wells, the potential of this play can not be ignored by the major oil companies.
Further, although thousands of CBM wells are fractured annually, EPA did not find confirmed evidence that drinking water wells have been contaminated by hydraulic fracturing fluid injection into CBM wells.
They test nearby water wells to determine the level of naturally-occurring methane and other contamination before and after drilling in order to ensure that their drilling and completion activities have not caused any issues.
The Texas Railroad Commission, using chemical fingerprinting, maintains that the EPA is wrong and that the gas seeped into the well from a shallow formation a few hundred feet beneath the surface, much closer to the water wells.

The Chinguetti development will include six production wells, four water injection wells, and a gas injector well, attached to a permanently moored floating production, storage and offloading vessel situated in about 800 metres of water.
Women, Water and Wells was organized by the Fowler Museum at UCLA and was made possible through the support of the Conrad N.
As of March 28, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcment (BOEMRE) of the Department of the Interior had received 31 deepwater drilling permit applications for offshore drilling activities like water injection wells and drilling from a fixed rig that were still allowed under the moratorium.
Thus was born Women, Water, and Wells, a selection of sixty-two striking photographs from his book, Water is Key (Balcony Press).
Over a decade ago, scientists in Bangladesh discovered that drinking water drawn from wells was contaminated with arsenic.
Since 1996, he has tested 2, 866 water samples from wells that were previously labelled as being safe by field workers.
New collected water samples from wells, tapping the aquifer on Argentinan and Uruguayan territory, were analysed on their main chemical parameters and compared with older data.
His lawyers argued that the British Geological Survey (BGS) failed to detect arsenic when it conducted tests on water from deep wells in the 1980s and 1990s.
There is also concern about how ground water and irrigation wells will be affected: it is hard to judge how long it takes for a coal aquifer to refill.
They are fashioned to capture the rain so the water will trickle down and replenish the aquifer eventually giving rise to water in the wells and bringing dead rivers back to life.
The nation's capital, Harare, has not imported adequate supplies of chemicals to treat water, resulting in citizens resorting to shallow wells and rivers for water, according to health advocates.
The natural gas industry has argued that flawed casing practices used while drilling shale-gas wells were responsible for methane contamination in drinking water supplies surrounding shale-gas wells.
Farmers have plenty of water for irrigation from wells, but the expense is a killer.
Their catfish are raised in clay-based ponds filled with purified water pumped from underground wells.
The study recommended a minimum vertical separation distance between fracking wells and water supplies of 600m (2, 000ft).
He heats his 1779-built 6-bedroom, 7, 000-square-foot home by pumping 51-degree water up from two wells 400 feet below Maine's winter crust.
