California Has Allowed Oil And Gas Companies To Dump Dangerous Chemicals Into Pristine Underground Aquifers
Greetings,
California Has Allowed Oil And Gas Companies To Dump Dangerous Chemicals Into Pristine Underground Aquifers
(Stephen Stock) A total of 532 injection wells are now suspected of dumping toxic wastewater left over from oil and gas extraction into protected clean water aquifer, according to California’s Water Resources control board.
This revelation follows an investigation into this practice first exposed by NBC Bay Area in November, 2014 . The Investigative Unit showed that state officials had been allowing oil and gas companies to dump dangerous chemicals into pristine underground aquifers that are federally protected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
At the time, only nine wells were known to be dumping their wastewater into protected aquifers in violation of federal EPA guidelines.
Most of those nine wells are located in or around Bakersfield in Kern County. Now California’s Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), in an e-mail to the US Environmental Protection Agency, says the questionable injection wells number in the hundreds and are located all over the state. They appear near Santa Clarita, Santa Barbara, Fresno, Paso Robles and Los Angeles as well as Kern County…..More Here
