A long exposure photograph shows EQT's Sizemore Well Pad in Knob Fork, West Virginia on February 17, 2024. The Sizemore Well Pad rests near the homes of four families who abandoned their homes after experiencing three years on ongoing illness consistent with exposure to chemical compounds released by EQT's hydraulic fracturing operations. The Sizemore Well Pad is at the center of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Clean Air Act investigation into the company and its emissions across northern Appalachia.
