Listed them as 3.3M and 3M (industry fudgery runs the corrupt show).

Are any oil and gas companies planning to pay to clean up after their multi-billion dollar profit-raping of North America?
It appears not and seems intentional with self-regulators like OGC and AER enabling the rip offs.

You can answer gov’ts request to municipalities for a plan on conserving water; you could suggest banning frac’ing. Doing nothing means you endorse **permanent** removal of millions of gallons of water from the hydrogeological cycle and puts residents at risk of health harm.
