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.
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.
You can access the report from our website by clicking HERE or on the image above.
