We begin with an oil and gas company being fined 120-thousand dollars for a drilling debacle in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.

State environmental regulators fined Houston-based, Cabot Oil and Gas after it says the company's drilling for gas polluted 13 residents' water wells.

Cabot has drilled numerous gas wells into the Marcellus Shale rock formation.

Back in January, a water well exploded at a home nearby Cabot's operation, which prompted an investigation.

Cabot also must come up with a plan to permanently restore or replace the affected water supplies.
