Table 2. Water Quality Impacts of Well Pad Spudding.

d ≤ 0.5 km d ≤ 1 km d ≤ 1.5 km d ≤ 2 km
Panel A. By distance to well pad
Pads in “d” km 0.0269 (0.0106) 0.0149 (0.00863) 0.000516 (0.00655) 0.00492 (0.00584)
Pads in 10 km −0.000187 (0.000248) −0.000313 (0.000287) −0.000111 (0.000259) −0.000366 (0.000319)
Observations 54,809 54,809 54,809 54,809
Panel B. By elevation to intake
Downhill pads in “d” km 0.00202 (0.0227) −0.00643 (0.00895) −0.000847 (0.00560)
Uphill pads in “d” km 0.0264 (0.0104) 0.0155 (0.00803) 0.00163 (0.00710) 0.00648 (0.00739)

Notes: Each column is a separate regression. Observations = 54,809 for each of the weight regressions reported. For panel B, pads up- and down-hill within 10 km are included but not shown. Robust standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the CWS level. The dependent variable is log(SGD chemicals).
