You did it! Injection Well Public Hearing

IMG_3263(1)

Your comments and signatures (almost 1,500!) on FOB’s injection well petition that accompanied our comments objecting to this waste disposal have led to a public hearing regarding this permit renewal.

What: Public hearing concerning the permit application for UIC Permit 2D09300081

Where: Tucker County Board of Education Auxiliary Gym

             100 Education Lane, Parsons, WV 26287.

When: March 5th, 2020

            5-6 PM- document review and Q/A with DEP personnel

            6-8 PM- public hearing

If you can’t attend this public hearing, sign our petition to still let your voice be heard! Pillar Energy wants a permit to inject 590 barrels a day of fluid produced from gas wells into an “injection well”. This toxic mixture of chemicals could leak into groundwater or Horseshoe Run and the Cheat River, undermining millions of dollars of restoration work to make the river healthy.
