This story is being covered by Politico, CBS, Newsweek, Fortune, Salon, Slate, and many others. Links to these stories are below.
In a related story, the EPA threw reporters from AP and CNN out of their national summit on harmful water contaminants on Tuesday. How far will they go to keep Americans in the dark?
