Brookfield, Ohio residents and their allies strongly oppose the siting of five - yes five! - proposed fracking waste injection wells in Brookfield, which is an area close to injection well-related,  man-made earthquake epicenters, including a now-famous 4.0 magnitude quake in 2011 in Youngstown, Ohio.

To hear the relentless, disturbing sounds and see the astonishing disruption of injection well preparation, please watch and share widely the following two, brief YouTube videos of preparation for fracking waste injection wells in Brookfield, Ohio. 

(You can comment on the videos at YouTube, if desired:

Video: Preparation for Five Proposed Fracking Waste Injection Wells, Brookfield, Ohio, Part 1 (January 2018) can also be viewed here: https://youtu.be/n4xlhBa5ehs Part 2 can also be viewed here: https://youtu.be/u-RNS4BODvg

The following two photos show the previous peacefulness and beauty of the same backyard now being ravaged by nearby injection well preparation as shown in the above YouTube videos.

Why are heavy industrial operations, including fracking waste injection and disposal wells being placed so near families, homes, parks, schools, forests, and elsewhere locally and in other states across our nation?  This is unacceptable and must be lawfully halted.

More injustice as evidenced by the below photos of heavy industrial fracking waste injection well operations in nearby Vienna, Ohio way too near a family home and community are below.   Vienna, Ohio also experienced a 2015 waste release associated with a now-closed waste injection well that destroyed two wetlands and a pond.

This insanity of states' allowing heavy industrial fracking-related activity in and near our homes and neighborhoods must stop to protect the public health, safety, welfare and private property rights and values of our communities:

"As many concerned citizens have said regarding injection wells:  We are not going away.  Ohio is not a toxic fracking waste dumping ground.  We are not expendable.  No one is expendable. These are our family homes.  Our livelihoods have been invested in them.  We have private property rights, too.  ODNR must halt this permitting process now in order to protect the public health, safety, and well-being of Brookfield and the entire region."

Learn more about supporting Ohio Senate Bill 50 To Protect Our Children and Communities
http://ohiosb50.org/Senate Bill 50 would prohibit the disposal of brine by deep well injection, by land application, and in association with enhanced recovery. Accordingly, it eliminates the per-barrel injection well fee. It also prohibits the conversion of a well to a use other than its original purpose (for example, converting from an oil and gas production well to an injection well) and establishes criminal penalties for a violation of the bill’s prohibition.

------------------
Help village of Brookfield, OH, the state of Ohio, and the entire region by sending in your objections &/or comments to stop 3 more fracking waste injection wells.
Due Wednesday, January 10, 2018 - emailed or postmarked.
For full consideration, all comments & objections must be received by ODNR (Ohio Department of Natural Resources), in writing (snail mail or email).

Three separate emails:
Permit Application aPATT031638 (SWIW #38)(Highland Brookfield #4)
Permit Application aPATT031639 (SWIW #39) (Highland Brookfield #3)
Permit Application aPATT031640 (SWIW #40) (Highland Brookfield #2)

Each application for permit must be commented upon in a separate email. So citizens will be sending three separate emails with comments. They can be the same comments but sent separately.

And PLEASE - everyone needs to know how many people sent in objections, so please, everyone post a copy of their emailed comment or letter to the Event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/153813091920234/
Or email a copy to frackfreeamerica@gmail.com
Or in Comment to this NOTE: https://www.facebook.com/notes/frackfree-america-national-coalition/help-brookfieldohio-entire-region-send-your-objections-or-comments-stop-3-more-f/1276858892420892/
Thank you!

A hearing by ODNR regarding these 3 well permits is required if the chief considers an objection to be relevant to issues of public health or safety or good conservation practices, or to have substance, according to the Ohio Administrative Code, ORC 1501:9-3-06 H (2) (a) http://codes.ohio.gov/oac/1501%3A9-3-06

Some points to remember:
Each of the five holes will be drilled to a depth of 8,750 feet; the wells will only be cased to a depth of 7,600 feet.  That would make the injection zone 1,150 feet thick.  Each well will also be fracked.
Now imagine having 5 wells all drilled to 8,750, cased to only 7,600 feet.  All 5 will be fracked.  IF approved by ODNR, all 5 will be permitted to operate at the same injection pressure of  1750 pounds per square inch. 
Reply to application question #25 states that there are wetlands, but there is nothing in the application on how these wetlands will be protected.  Think of the nearby (ten miles away) Vienna facility which destroyed two wetlands. 

Use all three addresses in each of your emails.
