Fracking- not the best thing since sliced bread

Given the seething hatred conservative business seems to have for federal regs (see- OSHA, EPA, etc...) wonder what % of them are disposing of fracking waste properly? Seems the company below MIGHT have been trying to properly dispose of it but...

Fracking Truck Sets Off Radiation Alarm At Landfill - Forbes

A truck carrying drill cuttings from a hydraulic fracturing pad in the Marcellus Shale was rejected by a Pennsylvania landfill Friday after it set off a radiation alarm, according to published reports. The truck was emitting gamma radiation from radium 226 at almost ten times the level permitted at the landfill.

Dot Com thinks we should only do things that are 100% risk free.

The real world doesn't work that way, bub.

so a little radiation foisted onto the public is ok when it comes to for-profit companies. Why don't they pay the people up-front for harming them (us?)?

 

[Mr. H.]

Big fucking deal. Can't you find something worthwhile to troll on about?

Big fucking deal. Can't you find something worthwhile to troll on about?

dumping radioactive waste into a landfill is (in your words) no "big fucking deal"?

From the OP source:

“Long-term exposure to radium increases the risk of developing several diseases. Inhaled or ingested radium increases the risk of developing such diseases as lymphoma, bone cancer, and diseases that affect the formation of blood, such as leukemia and aplastic anemia. These effects usually take years to develop. External exposure to radium’s gamma radiation increases the risk of cancer to varying degrees in all tissues and organs.”

Radium is a well known contaminant in fracking operations, particularly in the Marcellus Shale formation.

That one was so completely and totally neg reppable I had to do it. First one of RV's career. Grats.

I realize you anti-planet people are a little science challenged but are any one of you aware what gamma radiation does to the human body, or any creature's body for that matter. I could post some really gruesome photos if needed. (I won't, but I could.) That guy driving the truck probably has the life expectancy of about seven more years.

Hey, freak show- fluids and cuttings emit a fraction of that of a typical chest x-ray.
The bells went off, the truck was turned away. *yawn*

More insignificant boogy-man bullshit from the Leftist.

This actually happens quite often with drill cuttings nowadays. There are specific procedures for solids control at well sites, sounds like someone didn't follow them to remediate NORM.

so what did they end up doing w/ the refused offending radioactive material? Did they "Bundy" it? (dump it on public property)

Back in the bad old days it never left location. Buried when the pits were filled in.

Carting the stuff around is just silly, but people think "disposing" of something have to involve carting it around the countryside for some reason to "properly" handle it…just idiot make work from people who have never drilled a well in their lives.

Chemung County, NY officials have released a report they commissioned from an independent certified health physicist that show levels of radiation in the Marcellus Shale drill cuttings coming from Pennsylvania Marcellus drilling operations to the Chemung County landfill are “well below” U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards for radiation.

Thanks

If today's Obama version of the EPA had existed in 1900 you'd be making the electricity to run your Mexican made TV by rubbing two cats together.

So who exactly is hanging out at landfills to soak up all this radiation?

So? That would be why they test the stuff. Maybe you'd prefer they put the radioactive stuff back where they got it from. lol

Actually, I'm embarrassed for you.

I tend to speak from first-hand experience.

And your experience is in.... ?

What exactly?

 

[Mr. H.]

I guess my question is what the fuck do you do with your life, Dottie?

I spend my life drilling holes in the ground and navigating the myriad rules, regulations, acts, and edicts of a host of agencies local state and federal.

I know this shit front and back. For a fact.

What exactly do you know for a fact, Dot Cumface?
