I'd like to see just one well...............

I don't think you will ever have to worry about a gas well in Poca., no delivery lines and on the perimeter of the formation just doesn't make for good drilling prospects.
I too would like to see a well in little levels with no environmental contamination, it would be interesting to see the response to a successful clean well.

You give your waste oil to Buster, who most likely burns it in a waste oil heater, which begs the question has that burner been tested or the emissions been tested so I know you and buster are not polluting our air. When you give your oil away does your responsibility end there? Which brings up another point, how many of the Hispanics have green cards that have found lodging in the Durbin area? I understand when the feds came in a few years back that something like 4 out of 30 were found to be legal.
I guess now that we are pointing fingers we find that three of those fingers are pointing back at us.
My point is that we all have a shared responsibility in keeping our earth clean and our nation safe! However it is much easier to point at faceless Corporations for all the problems. After all these corporations are not people, but my question is, if corporations are not people then whoor what owns them, manages them, or demands profit from them?
Marlinton and Durbin dump the wastewater from their treatment plants into the Greenbrier River, do the people in Lewisburg have a claim against those two cities for polluting their drinking water source.
We find it easy to rail on others while ignoring our own contribution to the problems that plague this and other communities. All of us find ourselves in this sinking ship and unless we learn how to work toward solving problems we are only going to take on more water.
Again just an old man's ramblings. Thanks for letting me share what bounces around in my head.

Ah,Durbin and the Greenbrier--- contamination and public-private indifference--------
The topic was discussed sporadically on the old forum,E-Tater.( Whatever happened to it?) To repeat,the downriver(or up river]? town of Hinton sued Durbin ,a corporation, for contaminating their drinking water with (ugh) cowhair,although it was the village of Frank unincorporated,and Pocahontas Tanning,later Howes Leather) that discharged the cow hair contaminate into their drinking water source, the GreenBrier River. I heard this tidbit from a Vista Volunteer who had researched it. I do not know how many dollars Hinton won. The morality tale is this: County Pokey has had a long and continuing record of "to hell with the neighbors' Some may remember the"end of the story " ie how Durin was given vast sums of federal money for a sewer that was so badly constructed that it kept on contaminating the ancient and venerable Greenbrier. Someone called upon the Catholic church for monetary help, which was given through ' Campaign for Human Development" to pay for writing a grant for money to" correct the Durbin sewer problem". The grant was never written ,and the money disappeared into trivialities in and around Durbin and into private acounts while asking for more funds from the church.The Durbin request number 2 was ,of course, denied, due to a lack of reporting and accountability. There was never a lawsuit alleging fraud but there should have been. .The high E Coli count even next to the treatment center in Durbin is hotly denied by town spokespersons,"Why, we do"t contaminate the river" The Eight Rivers propaganda group has never addressed the topic.Their efforts to prevent Marcellus Shale contamination will hopefully be more successful.

You could ask vista---I do not remember the date. It was after Durbin became a corporation. apparently .The greenbrier is not flowing with saltwater you know so I imagine the animal hair would be intact on the journey to someones kitchen..Cowtails,hoofs or hooves? How long does human hair last in lavatory plumbing? You may have missed the message entirely.It is not a lesson in hechanical engineering of hair and water;rather it is about concern or lack of it for others.
