Figure 12 summarize respondents’ level of familiarity with the management and disposal of frac flowback water in the Marcellus Shale. Figure 13 demonstrates respondents’ level of familiarity with frac flowback wastewater treatment technology. And, Table 2 summarizes respondents’ views on the possible safe uses of treated frac flowback waters.
