    Pretty much. That and places that can actually handle disposal can not deal with the volume.


    It will sit in Ohio for a while with "special dispensation" to remain more that the 90 days allowed after generation.

    Gotta watch the 1 min clip, if you can bear it, from POTUS at the end of the article.

    What's the problem? It's not nuclear reactor fuel and it's not getting dumped on the ground. What do you do with contaminated soil or firefighting water but ship it to the kind of facility that can clean and dispose of it?
    Uhhh, they were shipping the recovered liquids to Texas so it could be injected into the same deep wells they inject fracking brine into

    Not like that dioxin could ever get into the aquifer or anything

    Can fracking fluid?
    Yes, but it has been relatively rare. Some of the worst contaminants in fracking fluid are only found in PPM, though. Benzene is a big one, but most of the contaminants in the brine are leached out of the fracture field and occur at relatively low levels. Dioxin is longer lived (more chemically stable), dangerous at lower concentration and they have not characterized the contaminant level in those fluids that I know of. That contaminants in that liquid could be hundreds or even thousands of times more concentrated and there would be no way to know it

    Is it time to require all chemicals to be hauled in double wall containers on rail and road like we do for crude oil on the ocean? When you can’t regulate yourself correctly to provide safety to the communities you pass through, then it’s time for those communities to take corrective action that is painful and costly to your way of doing business. Fines that threaten the ability of your business to continue is a great motivator of compliance.

    I suspect that the feds would argue that states and communities have no authority over the shipments because they are interstate commerce. The feds hate sharing power.

    step back and take a breath on the landfill issue. Are we not afraid of all that other stuff in the landfill leaching into the groundwater? Because you know there is other stuff in there.


    Or is this like reading the label on a processed food where you were fine eating it before, but NOW you know whats in there?

    Dioxins have caused entire towns to be abandoned.
    Given we know dioxins were created by the burning,and in concentrations above that seen anywhere else...is it any wonder the EPA has not tested for them(if they have they are not willing to share)?

    Not a single test(if done not made public),even though at nightly town meetings it has been then the number one question asked of the EPA for almost a week.



    The town will likely be a super fund site,it is just a matter of when.
