[Green] Here is another story ( from the Columbus Dispatch) that demonstrates our state officials neglect in managing injection wells: A state senator's fracking waste wells leaked. State paid $1.3 million to clean one spill. - from The Columbus Dispatch

[Jonathan Brier]

Given the high level of fracking activities in the area, is anyone
participating in data collection and/or talking with the Frack Tracker
Alliance? They have a report on southeast Ohio from 2018 and app to help
collect Reports of activities including trucks.

Ohio focused work: https://www.fractracker.org/map/us/ohio/
and

If you were wondering how close oil and gas activity is to places you
like... see the data mapped:
https://ft.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?appid=0cdff7e116c0425fa55d1226e9204477
I'm working on identifying different infrastructure in OpenStreetMap
because it is the map behind Wikipedia and many other tools to help bring
more visibility to this data, but there is a long way to go for parity.
https://openinframap.org/#10.79/39.4265/-81.5229/L,O

And a news article today about how the state favors exploiting oil and gas
even at landowner protest, but uses the same arguement to block renewables.

I'm wondering if we can organize to talk to our local leaders about
partnering with PCFO: https://www.poweracleanfuture.org/community-toolkit
