A Boost in Radiation Monitoring for Fracking
2013-01-25 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Pennsylvania will step up its monitoring of naturally occurring radiation levels in water, rock cuttings and drilling wastes associated with oil and gas development in a yearlong study that will be peer-reviewed, the state`s environmental agency reports. The study will also assess radiation levels in the pipes, well casings, storage tanks, treatment systems and trucks used by the natural gas industry, which has drilled thousands of wells in the gas-rich Marcellus Shale over the last five years....

Fighting Unregulated Fracking in California
2013-01-24 21:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The Center for Biological Diversity went to court today to compel California regulators to enforce an existing state law that should protect people and the environment from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a rapidly spreading new method of oil and gas extraction. The lawsuit filed this morning in Alameda County Superior Court says the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources has allowed fracking to expand without legally required oversight. California law applies safeguards and...

Fracking and Farmland
2013-01-24 14:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) has launched new webpages, Fracking and Farmland: Stories from the Field, that provide the personal stories of farmers concerned about Ohios booming fracking industry and illustrations of how oil and gas extraction could impact Ohios food producers. High-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as "fracking," is a method of oil and gas extraction that injects millions of gallons of water laced with toxic chemicals and...
US Hydraulic Fracking Regulations Prevent Groundwater Contamination, Fracking Industry Boosts Global Demand For Silica Sand

Pennsylvania Fracking Wastewater Likely to Overwhelm Ohio Injection Wells
2013-01-23 16:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The total amount of fracking wastewater from natural gas production in Pennsylvania`s Marcellus shale region has increased by about 570 percent since 2004, as a result of increased shale gas production, according to a study released yesterday by researchers at Duke and Kent State universities. Though hydraulically fractured natural gas wells in the Marcellus shale region produce only about 35 percent as much wastewater, per unit of gas recovered, as conventional wells, according to the new analysis,...
