Rally to oppose injection wells

HUBBARD — A public anti-injection well protest / rally will be 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday to oppose the proposed Hubbard Township fracking waste injection well and other injection wells in the region.

Citizens Against Injection Wells will meet in the area by Katie’s Korner Homemade Ice Cream, 2591 N. Main St. Attendees can sign a citizen petition opposing the injection well.

Organizers said the proposed Hubbard Township injection well that is the focus of the protest is planned near family homes, businesses, government buildings and a waterway.

The group is asking the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to deny the Bobcat Hubbard LLC permit application to drill the well, saying the wells pose risks to water, air and land, including potential man-made earthquakes.
