Ohio wants appeal of well thrown out

0

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — The state wants an agency to throw out
an appeal of a permit issued for a gas-drilling wastewater well in
southeast Ohio.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office earlier this
week filed a motion with the state oil and gas commission asking for
dismissal of the appeal of a drilling permit for the injection well in
Troy Township, southeast of Athens.
The Athens Messenger (http://bit.ly/1a1bco6 )
reports that the appeal was filed with the commission earlier this
month by the Athens County Fracking Action Network. The group claims the
well won’t adequately protect groundwater.
The attorney general’s office contends that permits for oil and gas wells cannot be appealed to the
commission under Ohio law.
Local governments have also opposed the well.
