4:35pm ET - For the past two
decades oil giant Chevron has been recycling millions of gallons of oil field waste water each day and selling it to farmers in California who use it to
water thousands of acres of crops bound for the American dinner table. However, until now, government authorities
have only required limited testing of the recycled irrigation water, using
decades-old monitoring standards and checking for only naturally occurring
toxins such as salts and arsenic and not screening for the range of chemicals
used in modern oil production. Joining
me today to discuss this program and explain how California's four-year drought
is exacerbating the problem and causing more companies to seek permits to begin
similar programs is Julie Cart,
environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times. You can also follow Julie on twitter.
