Subject: [OHIO-CONS-COMM] Fracking companies want to release fracking water into the water supply
Reply-To: Ohio Chapter Conservation Committee <OHIO-CONS-COMM@LISTS.SIERRACLUB.ORG>

Did we know about this proposal? Apparently the fracking companies want to release water used in fracking into the water supply to be treated in regular water treatment plants. A professor in Pennsylvania says that will not remove the radioactive elements from fracking water. The EPA is expected to loosen standards on this sometime this year.

They literally want to pour water full of radioactive elements into the natural water supply in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio.
