This just in: Below is an incident report from the National Response Center which sites that D&L Energy (the company that operated the injection well that led to the earthquakes) has been cited by Ohio EPA investigators for dumping what they believe could be over 20,000 gallons of crude oil and brine fracking fluid into an open sewage drain on Salts Spring Road which then emptied into the Mahoning River (detected in tributaries by the EPA). The date of the infraction was just 4 days ago (January 31). The report was issued on February 1.
