[Fuusm-l] Today's Issues for this Sunday, June 12 2022: Fracking and Injection Wells

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

Ted,

      Thanks for raising this issue at the Today's Issues group. I've attached a one pager that gives some background information on the injections wells.

     Today's Marietta Times has an article about the county commissioners in which it was reported that the commissioners have sent a letter to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources recommending that ODNR suspend issuing permits for injection wells until all questions raised at the public meeting are answered.
