Pro-frackers are the fools...we'll take anybody's trash!!!!!

Gotta love the fracking industry.....always bringing good things to the valley....

YOUNGSTOWN WILL SOON GLOW IN THE DARK...

***Frack Free Mahoning Valley held a press conference outside city hall today. Several members spoke briefly and took questions regarding the earthquakes and issues with ODNR only providing a press release without a full report and data.

The big story, which the media chose NOT to report, was the appeal to a permit issued for a waste analysis and treatment facility in the center of the city, about 1 mile from downtown that will test for and treat RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION in shale gas drill cuttings using a technique that has NOT been used in the oil and gas industry before.


The appeal alleges that the chief of the ODNR division of oil and gas resources unlawfully and unreasonably approved this facility.

HERE'S WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE NEWS!

RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL COMING TO YOUNGSTOWN, 300 FEET FROM THE MAHONING RIVER.

The Ohio Department of Health License for RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL which is part of the application authorizes Austin Master Services, LLC, to receive, acquire, possess and transfer an array of RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS at the 240 Sinter Court site, including Plutonium, Uranium-233, enriched Uranium-235, depleted Uranium, and "radioactive materials with atomic numbers 1 to 103," as well as Radium-226 and Radium-228, which are present in fracking wastes.

Some of these radioactive elements are used in the manufacturing or assembly of NUCLEAR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, and there is no explanation of whether and why these materials will be present at the Ground Tech plant, nor what chemicals will be used to control or stabilize them, nor what processes and quantities of non-fracking radioactive material will be involved in activities at the
plant.

The physical properties and qualities of the waste products which will be handled at the facility; their chemical composition and unknown isotopic stability; the unknown presence or absence of other chemicals and contaminants in the received wastes; the unknown presence or absence of other radiological treatment and storage processes on the premises at 240 Sinter-5-Court, which may pose additional concerns for facility operations; and the inherently toxic and
health-threatening dangers of the chemical and radiological constituents of fracking waste, as sporadically revealed in IWC/Ground Tech's application, suggest that dangerous processes may be undertaken at the plant and dangerous products and byproducts will be trucked through the central city of Youngstown for processing and disposal.

The IWC/Ground Tech application predicts that the facility will store, treat or process up to 50,000 tons of fracking wastes annually, but does not identify the quantities which will be drilling wastes, muds or other material and what other materials will be combined as and for treatment. Further, there is no disclosure of the activities contemplated involving other, non-fracking radioactive wastes mentioned on the Austin Master Services ODH permit.

YES ... WHAT KIND OFD FOOLS DO YOU TAKE US FOR? AND WE DON'T NEED THE LIKES OF YOU TO LEAD US THROUGH OUR COLLECTIVE NOSES LIKE SOME KIND OF PIE EYED PIPER LEADING THE RATS OVER THE CLIFF.

Here's an illistration of BG.

McNally will accept anything including a radioactive fracking waste processing plant.

Did any of us know about this before the story appeared in the Business Journal?
This is what will continue to happen without local control.

Vote Yes on Tuesday for the Youngstown Community Bill of Rights.
