Pipeline Construction Slurry Escapes into Creek
Thursday, July 25, 2013
According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Zanesville Times-Recorder, a drilling-related slurry has been leaking from a pipeline construction site into a creek that connects with the Muskingum River.
The creek, Wakatomika Creek, near Fazeysburg, Ohio, is contaminated, but the material doesn’t appear to be toxic. No dead or dying fish were found in the creek.
The slurry came from a construction site for the Appalachia-to-Texas Express Pipeline.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
