OHCRN Community Conversation on the Uniontown Landfill Site - Wednesday, May 22nd 
 
 
Join Ohio Community Rights Network on Wednesday, May 22nd 2024, for the fourth community conversation on Industrial Excess Landfill (IEL) - Ohio’s Regulatory Train Wreck.
 
Their THIRD Community Conversation on Industrial Excess Landfill (IEL) - Ohio’s Regulatory Train Wreck was on Wednesday, APRIL 24, with participants from around the state (on Zoom) and featuring activists who have worked for over 40 years to get the Industrial Excess Landfill cleaned up.  The discussion was heartbreaking and inspiring as we heard from activists who will not be silenced!

Read our Columbus watershed water monitoring study on our website
 
 
This water quality study was created from the Columbus Community Bill of  Rights in conjunction with Dusquesne University, University of Washington, and American University.
 
Its purpose was to establish baseline levels for certain  pollutants that would indicate contamination from oil & gas production infrastructure in the Columbus city water’s Hap Cremean watershed. 
 
It also verified if those pollutants are above levels determined to be higher than limits set by regulators.
 
You can access the report from our website by clicking HERE or on the image above.
 
 
Read/download our white paper from our website
 
 
Our white paper, 'The Risks to the Greater Columbus Water Supply from Oil & Gas Production', is now available to download and read.  This report is the culmination of two years of our work, with special accolades to local geologist/consultant, Dr. Julie Weatherington-Rice, who worked with us to offer her knowledge for much of the information on the paper.
