The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, which oversees gas and oil drilling, is promulgating new rules regarding INJECTION WELLS. This is a public hearing on that topic. Not a great place to collect signatures, we don't think, but you might be interested in attending and giving comments to the DEQ.

This step of getting the DEQ to have "primacy"--sole authority--over injection wells will mean the EPA would no longer be involved. DEQ does not look at radioactivity of the waste, nor does it look at seismic/earthquake activity or potential environmental impacts.

We will be BANNING frack waste from horizontal well bores in wells like this. 

Come to the hearing and make your voice heard.

Here's the proposed rules for injection wells:
