Commission rules against Ohio EPA's order that the city of Warren cease accepting brine water from Patriot
|
The Ohio Environmental Review Appeals Commission ruled earlier this week that Ohio EPA director Scott Nally did not "substantially support his stance regarding the revocation of permits to the city of Warren and Patriot Water Treatment LLC" when he enacted new permits on Monday that "don't allow Warren to accept Patriot's wastewater," The Vindicator reports. While state officials claim that the wastewater produced from hydraulic fracturing can only be disposed of "via brine-injection wells, as dust or ice control on roads, or any other method approved by the director," representatives for Patriot claim that there is no "evidence of water-quality changes" to warrant the new restrictions since the Ohio EPA granted the initial permits in 2010, the article said (See the Feb. 01, 2012, blog – "Warren will continue to dispose of treated brine water into the Mahoning River").
