3. Local story for me too. "Spill" in your subject line is misleading.

This was no "spill", it was an intentional dump.....incredible.

The thing that is really of concern to me is that the many pro-industry callers to talk radio here are making excuses, or saying that this is an isolated case, or are silent. If I were pro-fracking, and I couldn't be farther from that than I am, I would be condemning the owner of this company even louder than the anti-fracking group. I would be calling for him to be banned from doing business in Ohio. But they are not.

Hard Rock Excavating is owned by the same man who owns D & L Energy. And if you remember, D & L was the company who had the injection well that was causing earthquakes here in Youngstown.
