Fracking Waste Study Says States Aren’t Doing Enough to Protect Public

1. Injection well less than a mile from my property.

In the last few months the number of "brine" tanker trucks have increased by many times. (although I have notice a reduction in just the last few weeks.)

Everyone I have talked to in the area had no idea it was even there, or what and injection well was.

I describe it as a "sewage well" where poisonous leftovers from 3 states are brought to be pumped under our feet.

What I do not understand is the well site is only about 20 acres. How can they pump 20 tanker trucks of this fluid a day into the ground, day in, day out and all of this crap stay within the boundaries of this relatively small parcel of land?

I do not see how this stuff is not flowing out under everyone's property in the area. Why is this OK that they get to poison under my property, to use storage space that rightfully belongs to the other properties.

They claim that this sewage brine is being pumped deep underground, but if there are ANY crack in the strata then this liquid could come back up and contaminate water wells. All the water wells for the city of Logan are less than 3 miles from this injection well.
