New infrared video reveals growing environmental disaster in L.A. gas leak
2015-12-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: A runaway natural gas leak from a storage facility in the hills above Los Angeles is shaping up as a significant ecological disaster, state officials and experts say, with more than 150 million pounds of methane pouring into the atmosphere so far and no immediate end in sight. The rupture within a massive underground containment system -- first detected more than two months ago -- is venting gas at a rate of up to 110,000 pounds per hour, California officials confirm. The leak already has forced...

Environmental group calls out Pennsylvania drilling study
2015-12-22 20:26:32| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
An environmental group is calling out a Pennsylvania regulator's study that found radiation levels in oil and gas industry wastewater and byproducts showed little potential for radiation exposure. The January study by the state Department of Environmental Protection began after questions arose about the radioactivity in the huge volumes of wastewater and solid waste coming out of the ground during the state's natural gas drilling boom.

EPA announces 2015 annual environmental enforcement results.
2015-12-22 14:31:10| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
In fiscal year 2015, EPA secured record-setting hazardous waste, Clean Air Act, and Superfund settlements, and acted swiftly to win a large criminal plea agreement following a major coal ash spill. Additionally, EPA pursued a final settlement that puts billions of dollars to work restoring the Gulf and helping communities affected by the BP oil spill, and launched an investigation against Volkswagen for illegally emitting air pollution from diesel vehicles.

Environmental group claims state DEP radioactivity study needs redone
2015-12-22 07:02:50| Waste Management - Topix.net
An environmental organization says an 11-month-old state Department of Environmental Protection report, which found little risk of radioactivity exposure from shale gas drilling and development, is incomplete, inaccurate and invalid, and should be redone. According to a 25-page review released last week by the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, the DEP study of technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive materials - TENORM - brought to the surface by the shale gas drilling industry did not accurately measure the radioactivity levels of water, sludge and rock cuttings at drill sites and landfills, and minimized the risk of exposure to the public, drilling industry workers and the environment.
