Chesapeake Energy is proposing to use an abandoned gas well in Pulteney
for disposal of their toxic brine waste water from natural gas
drilling.
The proposal is for 200,000 gallons/day of toxic brine and chemical
filled waste water which is imported from PA and NY. Over a 10 year
period this would be almost 750,000,000 (3/4 of a billion) gallons!!
Be aware of the potential risks of having a toxic, brine waste water
disposal in Pulteney:
• Contamination of well water and Keuka Lake. Individual well water
testing costs about $500. Can you afford that every year?
• Instantaneously destroying property values in Pulteney and around
Keuka Lake
• Economic damage done to the wine, grape and tourism industries could
be immense, as the wine industry provides $3.7 billion to the New York
State economy every year.
• The Wine Trail was not designed for heavy toxic brine truck traffic
• Deep injection wells have been linked to small earthquakes
