Article I, Section 27, of Pennsylvanias state constitution, referred to by the Court as the Environmental Rights Amendment, was approved by Pennsylvania voters in 1971 and provides that: The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvanias public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people.

Per Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille, Pennsylvania Supreme Court: By any responsible account, the exploitation of the Marcellus Shale Formation will produce a detrimental effect on the environment, on the people, their children, and future generations, and potentially on the public purse, perhaps rivaling the environmental effects of coal extraction.

Per Citizens Voice Article dated Feb. 14, 2014:

Luzerne County Planning Commission Acting Director Nancy Snee said the facility is slated for the 4-P Realty property off Meeker Outlet Road. Waveco Energy plans to build the plant on land leased from the 605-acre 4-P Realty property, which county records show is owned by the partnership of Michael A. Patrician, Rodney J. Passeri, Joseph J. Passeri Jr. and John Passeri. Snee said there wouldn't be any gas drilling-related activity on the 4-P Realty property. "There's no drilling going on there," she said. "Just bring the water in; a couple days later, take the water out." According to documents filed with the county: Waveco plans to have up to 30 settling and storage tanks to hold the used fracking water until it can be returned to drilling sites for reuse. They will be 45 feet by 10 feet with a capacity of 20,000 gallons each. These tanks will be cleaned out periodically, and sediment and other such matter "will be handled and removed according to all applicable state and federal environmental requirements." The fenced-in site would take up less than an acre and have controlled access points with security monitoring. Trucks would be registered and undergo a radiation inspection before unloading. Trained personnel would be on site during hours of operation, which would be between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., and the company anticipates fewer than 25 truck trips per week in the initial phases of the operation. Snee said there would not be a physical building to house the facility. The only structure would be a caretaker's shack, she said.

TYPES OF just water: FRACK WATER: Initial mix of chemicals, sand and water used for fracking.

FLOWBACK WATER: Frack Water which returns immediately following the fracking of a well. (approx 20%-30%)

PRODUCED WATER: Frack Water which has been in the ground and mixed with naturally occurring materials such as arsenic, lead, radium, barium, strontium and sodium (salts) etc. and continues to return to the surface for the life of the well.

The fenced-in site would take up less than an acre and have controlled access points with security monitoring. Trucks would be registered and undergo a radiation inspection before unloading.

PER US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA): How are drilling wastes produced? The briney solution contained in reservoirs of oil and gas is known as "formation water." During drilling, a mixture of oil, gas, and formation water is pumped to the surface. The water is separated from the oil and gas into tanks or pits, where it is referred to as "produced water." As the oil and gas in the reservoir are removed, more of what is pumped to the surface is formation water. Consequently, declining oil fields generate more produced water. While uranium and thorium are not soluble in water, their radioactive decay product, radium, and some of its decay products are somewhat soluble. Radium and its decay products may dissolve in the brine. They may remain in solution or settle out to form sludges, which accumulate in tanks and pits, or mineral scales, which form inside pipes and drilling equipment. http://www.epa.gov/radiation/tenorm/oilandgas.html#howmuchradiation

Snees JustWaterwillneedtoundergoradiationinspection.Why?AccordingtotheEPA, frack waterisradioactive.

The fenced-in site would take up less than an acre and have controlled access points with security monitoring. Trucks would be registered and undergo a radiation inspection before unloading.

QUESTION: What is the acceptable level of radiation? What happens to the trucks and load when they DO NOT pass RADIATION INSPECTION?

In an article first published in ProPublica and then in the Albany Times Union on November 9, 2009, Abrahm Lustgarten reported that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation analyzed 13 samples of wastewater brought up thousands of feet to the surface from drilling and found that they contained levels of radium-226, a derivative of uranium, as high as 267 times the limit safe for discharge into the environment and thousands of times the limit safe for people to drink.

NewYork,whichcurrentlyhasamoratoriumonfossilfueldrilling,foundradium226at267 timesthesafedischargelevel.

It was reported in April of 2013, trucks carrying shale drill cuttings were setting off radiation alarms at a Pennsylvania landfill. The EPAs standard for air pollution is 10,000 microrem per year (also known as 10 millirem/year). Pennsylvania measures radiation in hourly emissions and EPAs standard in terms of yearly emissions. The radiation level in the truck is roughly 84 times higher than EPAs standard. Trucks carrying rejected loads of drill cuttings were refused. Where did they go? John Poister, a spokesperson for DEP, stated DEP DOESNT KNOW.

Geochemists have found dangerous levels of radioactivity and salinity at a fracking disposal site near Blacklick Creek, which feeds into water sources for Pittsburgh and other western Pennsylvania cities. The Duke scientists spent two years, from 2010 to 2012, taking soil samples upstream and downstream from the Josephine Brine Treatment Facility in Indiana County, PA.

Even after waste water was treated at the plant to remove dangerous chemicals, radiation was detected far above regulated levels.
The treated water had Radium levels 200 times greater than control water from the area, said Avner Vengosh, professor of geochemistry and water quality at Duke Universitys Nicholas School of the Environment and one of the primary authors of the study. http://www.businessinsider.com/fracking-leaving-radioactive-pollution-in-pa2013-10#ixzz2tPITFW7Y

Randy Moyer, trucked brine from wells to treatment plants and back to wells, now suffers from dizziness, blurred vision, headaches, difficulty breathing, swollen lips and appendages, and a fiery red rash that covered about 50 percent of his body. He believes he is sick from the chemicals in fracking fluid and from radiation exposure. He cites unsafe and unregulated working conditions on well sites, no oversight about safety clothing, breathing masks, or chemical suits. The sites are treated like any other construction site, all that's needed is a hardhat and goggles. But when working with radiation and toxic chemicals from deep underground, adverse health effects are never far behind. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHoHft6Mqno )

These tanks will be cleaned out periodically, and sediment and other such matter "will be handled and removed according to all applicable state and federal environmental requirements." QUESTIONS: What is done with the SEDIMENT and OTHER SUCH MATERIAL? What is IN the SEDIMENT and OTHER SUCH MATERIAL? Are state and federal requirements sufficient to ensure our safety? Who enforces these state and federal requirements? What exemptions exist in the state and federal requirements?

Per EXPLORE SHALE.com Flowback may be treated through a variety of methods. Diluted with fresh water and used for another well. Treated on site and used for another well. Hauled off site for treatment and/or disposal in permitted deep injection wells.

QUESTION: Doesnt adding fresh water to the treated frack water imply that the treated frack water is still too contaminated to use for fracking?

Christopher Timmins, a Duke University economics professor, and Lucija Muehlenbachs, a fellow at think tank Resources for the Future - found shale gas drilling within a kilometer (0.6 mile) of a home can decrease property values by an average of 16.7% Other studies have found property values have dropped by 25% just with a lease and no active production, and drops of a further 25% once production starts. Real estate brokers say they see more signs of prospective home buyers worrying about the health and environmental effects of living close to a well. "For the most part, it renders those houses unsellable," said Phyllis Wolper, a Denton, Texas, realtor who has several clients who live near oil and gas wells and have been unable to sell their homes. A University of Denver study found that a majority of 550 people surveyed would decline to buy a home near natural gas drilling. The study, to be published in the Journal of Real Estate Literature, also found up to a 25 percent reduction in bid value for homes located near these "fracking scenarios."

In northeastern states like Pennsylvania, fracking worries have prompted lenders to begin rejecting mortgage applications due to gas drilling on neighboring property. In Colorado, real estate brokers describe keeping a long list of sellers in heavily fracked areas, but a paucity of buyers. Under the terms mortgage buyers like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require, "you cannot cause or permit any hazardous materials to be on your property and it specifically references oil and gas," Greg May, vice president of residential mortgage lending at Tompkins Bank, told American Banker in an interview published Nov. 12. "That alone would make it a problem."

The standard homeowners insurance policy has a pollution exclusion for property.
Insurance agents are trying to make themselves as aware as possible of the situation, because obviously if someones signing a contract with one of the energy companies to permit a drill site on their property, then theres going to have to be a response from an insurance standpoint as far as trying to find the coverage if the current carrier is not willing to provide it, according to the insurance education organization Sparks Club.
