[wvec-board] Gas drilling hazardous waste landfill in Preston
County?
Actually, I
have heard rumors that the other landfills in the area that DEP has authorized
to receive this waste are none to happy about this new proposed landfill --
They don't want the competition! Like everything else in this world,
it's all about the money.

Yes, Frank.
This has been and is a hot button issue for Friends of Cheat, the PA-WV watershed COMPACT, Upper Mon River Assoc. and all the Dunkard Creek, Sierra and other folks in northern WV where the bulk of the horizontal marcellus drilling is happening -- especially the two in Morgantown near the water intake... and the two in the Dunkard Creek watershed....
Chesapeake and others have already reduced or eliminated entirely the drilling pits and have been catching the drilling muds, etc in open truck beds (don't know the official terminology for them) and taking them to other already existing landfills ----- ... Dan may be aware of the attitudes of these landfill operators, but with the growing amount of waste generated by the drilling in these northern WV Counties i'm sure they can see their projected capacity quickly being stressed or stretched to the limits and welcome this new project to relieve pressure on their limits. .... Needless to say others in the communities are none too happy...

This would seem to indicate public acknowledgement of serious waste disposal issues related to the by-products of shale gas drilling.

I guess this issue did not go away. This is what I had mentioned last evening regarding creating a landfill in Preston County related to Marcellus drilling. (see attached)
