Omni Energy Group is seeking permission from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to put two saltwater injection wells near the intersection of U.S. 40 and Ohio 331 near St. Clairsville, according to The Intelligencer Wheeling News-Register.

Landowners within 500 feet of the proposed site were notified by Gerard Russomagno, CEO of the Omni Energy Group LLC out of New Jersey, in early April. They have since voiced concerns about pollution, noise and increased truck traffic related to the potential siting. In response to the concern, Russomagno has stated that “[Omni wants to] be the best neighbor and best part of the community we can be.”

The permitting process is under review with no finite deadline.
