WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN ILLINOIS SOON: "[Teresa] Mills, of Columbus, said research shows that Portage County accepted 7,892,815,182 gallons of liquid that are toxic and may contain low levels of radiation in the last 35 years. The total could actually be higher because there is uncertainty about how accurate the state records were in the early years, said Mills, of the Buckeye Forest Council and the Center for Health, Environment and Justice. The Beacon Journal has reported that Portage County in 2012 took in 2,358,371 42-gallon barrels of drilling waste at 15 injection wells. That was the highest total for Ohio counties. Nearly two-thirds of that total came from out of state. In 2012, Ohio’s 180 active injection wells took in 14.2 million barrels, up from nearly 12.6 million barrels in 2011. Today, Ohio has 222 permitted injection wells." ohio/news/warren-ralliers-told-portage-county-ranks-no-1-in-ohio-for-drilling-waste-disposal-1.416982
