"As reported on EcoWatch last week, displaced condensate tanks near Greely and Kersey, CO, used to store liquid waste from drilling operations, have tipped over and are leaking. According to the Associated Press, the three new spills include: 5,100 gallons of oil from a Noble Energy facility east of Kersey; 2,500 gallons from a PDC Energy location east of Greeley; and an unknown volume from a Mineral Resources operation west of LaSalle. The three new spills were discovered as flood waters began to recede. This brings the amount of crude spilled to more than 34,500 gallons, or about 822 barrels, so far since flooding began." (And we regularly get floods in Qld. - remember the last floods washed all the toxic holding ponds into the rivers and MDB catchment? They say the CSG companies are actually applying for licences in the floodplains, as they still have no solution what to do with all the polluted toxic wastewater, and they know the floods will wash all their wastewater away).
