For decades the people of our state have been hearing false narratives and misinformation from Ohio legislators and lobbyists . The gas and oil industry in particular has been misrepresenting the risks to Ohioans from its production and waste disposal operations . Our State House has been loaded with people who will pass any law , regulation or policy the lobbyists hand them , regardless of the impact on our families or our environment .
The greed , the power grabbing and the corruption are real , as evidenced by the recent arrest of Coshocton ’ s State House Speaker Larry Householder . He and his cohorts have been indicted in a multi-million-dollar bribery scam . They are accused of attempting to
Letter to the Editor
use your tax dollars to line the pockets of energy industry executives and their own .
But our politicians are engaged in much worse practices than just taking money . Most Ohioans are not aware of how indifferent our policy makers have become to the health and welfare of Ohio working people . They are currently allowing radioactive oilfield waste derivatives to be dumped on our neighborhood roadways to control ice and dust . It is being marketed under the name Aqua Salina .
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources took samples and tested them for radioactivity . They found dangerously high levels of radioactive cancer causing Radium 226 and Radium 228 . All samples were found to exceed the federal drinking water standards and averaged 346 times higher than the EPA legal limits . This carcinogen is being spread on land near drinking water sources and on dusty roads and will remain radioactive for thousands of years .
Radium is able to accumulate within the body with repeated exposures . Your risk increases every time you use water sources , roads , parking lots , sidewalks or driveways that are exposed to radioactive oilfield waste contamination . But ODNR still allows dumping to continue .
This disregard for the well-being of Ohio citizens is typical of the kinds of policies our legislatures are enacting and ODNR is allowing . For this reason Coshocton Environmental and Community Awareness has joined a coalition of state and national environmental groups who have sent a petition to the U . S . EPA . We are asking the EPA assume regulatory control over Ohio ’ s class II injection wells and the disposal of radioactive oilfield waste in our state .
