Let me start this letter with a review of an Oil and Gas Association person who gave a talk at the commissioner's meeting a few weeks ago. He made the statement that injection wells are just returning prehistoric brine back into the ground where it came from. To his credit he was about 90% correct. What he did not say was that the brine is about 90% of what is pumped back into the ground. However, the remaining 8% plus or minus, is the fracking chemicals that are hazardous, radioactive, and toxic waste. Some of the chemicals combine with the brine salts and cause chemical changes to the bine that create other hazardous chemicals. Now 8% may not seem like much, except that we have had over a billion gallons already pumped under our feet in Washington County. That 8% of one billion equates to eighty million gallons. Just putting it into perspective.
