A Washington County man faced off in court with two major gas drilling companies that he accuses of contaminating his drinking water, forcing him and his family to get seriously ill.The lawsuit by Bryan Latkanich said fracking exposed him to radiation and PFAS, known as forever chemicals.Latkanich said he never knew how he might be harmed when he allowed Chevron to build a massive drilling operation on his Washington County farm.He said his son Ryan was covered with sores after taking a bath.Bryan became sick and eventually developed brain tumors and kidney failure."It's destroyed all my hopes and dreams, my farm, my life with my children. It's been rough. I can't go to a spigot and turn on water and drink it. I have to worry about every time my son takes a shower if he's going to get blisters. We shouldn't have to live that way in today's society," Bryan said.He said he was forced to bottle his drinking and bathing water in a nearby spring.Chevron and EQT said repeated tests found no evidence that fracking caused PFAS or other harmful chemicals to get into his water.Outside the courthouse, activists rallied to support the Latkanich family.Inside court, Chevron's lawyer argued that its parent company should not be named in the lawsuit. Lisa Johnson, an attorney for Latkanich, disagreed."It's our view that this is the company and these are the people who are directing these operations that are harming people and that are damaging the environment. So that corporation and those individuals should be held to account," Johnson said.The judge allowed Latkanich's attorney 60 days to seek documents that could tie Chevron's parent company to the fracking operation.Chevron and EQT are also trying to block Latkanich from using a statewide grand jury report as part of the lawsuit.Kathy Condo, an attorney for Chevron and EQT, declined to comment after the hearing. In court, she said Tuesday's hearing was not the time to address substantive issues raised by the lawsuit.
