[Community Rights Network] Kern county fracking Waste Pond Video

[Shannon Biggs]

Hi all, 

This is happening right now in California. Check out the video. These waste
ponds have washed away and into rivers creeks and all water systems during
storms, its easy to see why.  During superstorm Sandy and in the Colorado
floods, thousands of these open air ponds washed away into farmlands and
water.

Another Tom Frantz youtube hit showing the massive waste ponds taking
produced water in Western Kern near the Belridge and Elk Hills fields. :

Note that these are unlined, evaporation/percolation ponds taking huge
amounts of oil and gas waste water likely from fracked and unfracked wells
without any oversight. We visited this site as part of our tour with the
State and CV Regional Water Boards on Thursday. They say they are phasing
these types of ponds out, but these ones have been operating for so long,
they may be grandfathered in. Need to find what if any permits were granted.
We need to show that they threaten water quality in order to get the CV
Board to shut them down if they already have a discharge permit.

 

The air emissions (off-gassing VOC's, methane and who knows what else) may
be another hook to shut them down, but apparently the AQMD doesn't seem to
think it's worth looking at.
