As for drilling for oil or natural gas, I hope Rochester Hills does not allow this to happen. These drilling companies are supposed to properly dispose of contaminated fracking fluids, but I GAURANTEE more times than not they don't dispose of the toxic chemicals properly, and a lot of these chemicals would end up in groundwater and/or area waterways. The people that run these drill rigs couldn't care less about doing the right thing, the citizens of Rochester Hills, or doing what is right for the environment. If it's cheaper or easier to just dump the contaminated crap somewhere, then they'll do it.
