Marcellus Frac water discharged into the Conemaugh River

Canoeing on the beautiful trip to Saltsburg from the Conemaugh Dam, we discovered Tunnleton Liquids Co. discharging Marcellus Shale frac water into the Conemaugh, the entire area smelled badly of chemicals.

Below the frac discharge, there was a brown froth that covered the river the whole way to Saltsburg, and kids swimming in it along the way. One wonders what this does to fish and other acquatic species on the Conemaugh and Kiski Rivers. This should be stopped.

I've seen this. I witnessed a refuse water truck pumping "produced water" into a stream in Lycoming County near some Talisman wells. There is no mistaking that smell.

@susiesmithable

your behaviour indicates to me that you are in denial.

the facts are there, fracking is damaging, gas companies are taking advantage of everyone in order to make a quick buck. Put your big kid pants on and learn to face reality.

Yep - Show us the other bitter end of this pipe! If this is frac water then it needs to be documented and reported. And the gas co. will do it the cheapest way possible and so would you. So that's why pictures need to be taken and all information documented so there is no question as to what's going on!!! duh!!!

Better quit warming your houses with natural gas and go back to firewood.

HI there, would you mind me using your footage in a video on fracking here in NZ to help illustrate one of the issues with fracking?

What people need to understand is the wealthy do not care of anything but cash and they will fuck the land up along with the water and air as long as they can make a profit from doing it. To do things safe and morally right cost's money and the wealthy are only interested in making money not spending it.

The United States of America is an utterly colossal shit stain on the otherwise silk of humanity. This evil country represents the lowest and cretinous version of homosapein. It is without variation an unscrupulous, awful, greedy, corrupt gaggle of self devouring maggots. Do not be fooled. The United States of America is the business end of an outhouse, a hater of humanity, freedom, life. It is a shithole beyond accurate description. These are the facts and they remain undisputed by humans.

dumbfounded by your lack of investigation skills, you don't show any wells being drilled you dont show where the end of that pipe goes, you just assume that is frac water, did you assume it was poop in your pants or did you have to wipe first before finding out, meaning dont show things and make up stories with out proper proof
