Valuable Information on the Windsor meeting

Good afternoon neighbors,

I attended the Windsor meeting last night that Mardy Townsend organized.  There were at least 150 people in attendance, mostly from the Windsor area.  They have 4 injection wells in their township, just north of Windsor on 86.  There is grave concern by the neighbors about the pollutants being injected into these wells.  Many close by to the wells are farmers.  The Windsor Trustees were there as well as a County Prosecutor Sartini, County Commissioner Carlo and John Patterson, candidate for State Representative.


The Farmer's Union was a sponsor last night.  They will work with us if we want to get Joe Logan, member of the Ohio EPA Council and a landowner, to put on his presentation.  He had a power point presentation that was very informative and he is very knowledgeable about what the fracking entails (water use, chemicals that can pollute our aquifers and air, etc).  He is also very involved in Columbus trying to get stricter regulations on these processes.
Anyway, I would be happy to make contact with the Farmer's Union if we want to pursue a similar meeting in Trumbull Township.


I am going to the NE Landowner's meeting in Jefferson tonight to see if there is anything Jim and I can do to protect our property when/if we are swallowed up in a mandatory pool.  It would also be a plus if, somehow, we can start collecting information about any leases our neighbors have signed---not to attack or demean or be negative---but to know what leases are already out there that may affect our property.


See you soon,
Gail

  1. Absolutely Gail. I have been talking with people from the Farm Bureau, but the Farm Union seems to be more in tune. Please contact them and if you'd like to set up a meeting, I'd love to attend.

    Please note that Joe Logan is with the Ohio Envirnmental Council, as Director of Ag Affairs. He most definitely is NOT with OEPA.

    Thank you,
