Classify Production and Reclaimed Frac Water Toxic

The Issue

Reclaimed water from Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking) Is contaminated with Toxic Chemicals. This Poison stays in our ground and leaches into aquafers and contaminates our water supply.

Currently this waste is a non classified production water and is being deposited into the ground and Landfills abroad. This toxic waste needs to be Classified as Toxic and disposed of properly. We ask that you test and classify produced water, reclaimed water as toxic waste.
