Nobody knows for sure, largely because HB278 eliminates all local control over drilling, and does not require any formal, independent evaluation of a drill site. If ODNR says it's okay, then it's okay.
The proposed drill site being discussed on this blog is located in a delicate spot, very close to the Cuyahoga and adjacent to the well field that supplies drinking water for almost 50,000 residents in Munroe Falls, Cuyahoga Falls, and Silver Lake.
It is my position that no well should be drilled without a proper site evaluation performed by an independent professional, an Ohio EPA study, and a public comment period. HB278 eliminates these safeguards.
Please contact your local government or state representative to share your views on this issue.
