"The documents reveal that the wastewater, which is sometimes hauled to sewage plants not designed to treat it and then discharged into rivers that supply drinking water, contains radioactivity at levels higher than previously known, and far higher than the level that federal regulators say is safe for these treatment plants to handle."
If NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) is such a non issue(as reported in a recent Vindy article), why do so many wells in Pennsylvania have outrageous amounts of radioactivity in them? Remember almost 50% of the toxic wastewater going into Ohio's injection wells is coming from PA.

Just a thought, but maybe her business problems have something to do with their being at least 7 pizza restaurants within a quarter mile of her location. With that level of competition, you have to have above average food and customer service to stay open. I live about 3 miles from Cornersburg and I have to pass by another 10 pizza restaurants to get there.
Oilfield Review: Seismicity in the Oil Field Seismicity in the Oil Field Publication: Oilfield Review Volume: 12 Issue: 2 Publication Date: 06/01/2000
In some areas, seismic activity, better known as earthquakes, can occur as a result of oil and gas production. In this article, we review the modern history of human-induced seismic activity, and present the findings of a recent project to monitor injection- and production-related seismicity. Scientists in Russia, in a cooperative project with Schlumberger, are analyzing the seismic energy recorded during these events to extract information about the reservoir, to more fully characterize the state of stress in the field and to optimize the recovery of reserves.
You can download the entire article at this link. The industry has known for YEARS that their activities, both fracking and injection wells can trigger earthquakes. http://www.slb.com/resources/publicat...
When the earthquakes are determined to have been caused by the injection well, will the city and county be reimbursed by D&L and Northstar for these inspection costs and any damage they turn up. As a taxpayer I don't want to be stuck with the bill.
Apparently the author is not aware of this article that is widely known in the industry as it was published in the "Oilfield Review" in the summer of 2000.

In most states it costs from $8000 to $12,000 to demolish a house. The reason is because they have state laws that require the foundations and buried utility services to be completely removed. The reason for having these laws is to promote the redevelopment of the land as quickly as possible to restore the tax base.
Meeting will address quakes, injection wells

Water main break closes some West Side streets
Aren't we supposed to be notified if there is a boil order or not? What areas are served by this water main?

Quakes prompt earlier bridge checks in Youngstown
When we get another 4.0 or larger they will have to inspect them again.
