These wells are used to send the wastewater from fracking (a mix of water, sand and chemicals) deep underground for disposal. This is the eleventh earthquake in the Youngstown area this year, and the most intense one. The earthquakes have all taken place near an injection well that goes 9,200 feet deep, according to the Times, and as been used for the disposal of millions of gallons of brine and other waste liquids produced at natural-gas wells. Most of the injection wells in Ohio are for storing fracking fluids from wells in Pennsylvania. Now me: What the (frack)? They are "storing" these hazardous wastes underground? Just keep pumping these hazardous chemicals into the earth. Of course they are going to get into the ground water. Everybody knows this. We have to bring back the clean air act, the clean water act and the safe drinking water act, etc. What a step backwards. The fracking process uses 500 to 600 chemicals per well, each time it is fracked. . . we are taking about thousands and thousands and thousands of well pads in 13 or more states and each well can be fracked many times. This is happening in many parts of the world. Please contact your representatives. we have got to be heard. Please learn about high volume hydro fracking. It is happening. "don't have kids when you get grown" make your views known please write letters and contact your govenors and reps. help! Marianne if you have read this far: Happy new year. and pray XOXO ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2011 #791 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
