Here's some information to give you some background as to why people in this part of NB are concerned about fracking.
The PCS potash mine has had water infiltration problems for years. They pull a b train tractor trailer load of water out of the mine every 10 minutes, 24 hr/day, 7 days a week. ( In order to deal with the water, they started drilling holes to find a place to inject the now salt water, but instead found natural gas.) At any rate, after several years of pumping this water out of the mine, the wells belonging to the people who live above the mine all went dry, and the word of the consultants is that, of course, the water being pumped out of the mine has nothing to do with the fact that people who have had wells for 80 or 100 years suddenly had no water for their farms. None for the cattle, none for bathing.
And the company wouldn't even help fund the community water system, because by doing so, they might be held responsible.
So, the people are somewhat sceptical of promises for protecting the water table, since it seems that the mine can just pump it away with no thought.
