Is Hazardous Fracking Wastewater Being Sprayed On Your Community Roadways?

Through BFC public records requests, we now have a comprehensive list of all Ohio political subdivisions (counties, cities, towns, and townships) that spray fracking brine on their roadways.  Please visit the link below to see if your community is on the list.

Political Subdivision Brine Applications:

Note that the second tab of this document also contains the complete list of localities that allow private companies to spray brine on their roadways.  The information contained in this second list is additional to, and not contained in, the first political subdivisions tab.

Section 1509.226 of the Ohio Revised Code allows political subdivisions to authorize brine spraying on local roads for dust and ice control purposes.  However, under ORC Section 1509.226, political subdivisions must pass an authorizing resolution before any brine spraying can occur.  We strongly encourage concerned citizens to press their local governing bodies to repeal any brine application resolutions that are currently on the books.
