From the introduction to the Environment Agency's report on water at the Balcombe drilling site:
Many people have expressed concerns that the Cuadrilla drilling site near Balcombe West Sussex will cause the water quality to deteriorate. Before drilling took place, both Cuadrilla and the Environment Agency tested the borehole water and surface waters (streams) around the site.
We reported the findings in August 2013 in our Pre-drilling report. We wanted to repeat the water quality sampling during the test-drilling to see if there were any changes. However, we weren't able to do this as access became difficult during the protestors' occupation of the area in August. We did, however, collect a sample from the borehole at this time and subsequently took samples from the Lower Stumble area when it became safe for our staff to do so.
Greens not only damage the environment, but they prevent others from protecting it.
