3 Billion Gallons Of Fracking Wastewater Pumped Into Clean California Aquifiers: "Errors Were Made" State Admits
Dear California readers: if you drank tapwater this morning (or at any point in the past few weeks/months), you may be in luck as you no longer need to buy oil to lubricate your engine: just use your blood, and think of the cost-savings. That's the good news.
Also, the bad news, because as the California’s Department of Conservation’s Chief Deputy Director, Jason Marshall, told NBC Bay Area, California state officials allowed oil and gas companies to pump up to 3 billion gallons (call it 70 million barrels) of oil fracking-contaminated waste water into formerly clean aquifiers, aquifiers which at least on paper are supposed to be off-limits to that kind of activity, and are protected by the government's EPA - an agency which, it appears, was richly compensated by the same oil and gas companies to look elsewhere.
And the scariest words of admission one can ever hear from a government apparatchik: "In multiple different places of the permitting process an error could have been made."
Because nothing short of a full-blown disaster prompts the use of the dreaded passive voice. And what was unsaid is that the "biggest error that was made" is that someone caught California regulators screwing over the taxpayers just so a few oil majors could save their shareholders a few billion dollars in overhead fees.
And now that one government agency has been caught flaunting the rules, the other government agencies, and certainly private citizens and businesses, start screaming: after all some faith in the well-greased, pardon the pun, government apparatus has to remain:
“It’s inexcusable,” said Hollin Kretzmann, at the Center for Biological Diversity in San Francisco. “At (a) time when California is experiencing one of the worst droughts in history, we’re allowing oil companies to contaminate what could otherwise be very useful ground water resources for irrigation and for drinking. It’s possible these aquifers are now contaminated irreparably.”
The process, for those confused, explained by NBC:
In “fracking” or hydraulic fracturing operations, oil and gas companies use massive amounts of water to force the release of underground fossil fuels. The practice produces large amounts of waste water that must then be disposed of.
Marshall said that often times, oil and gas companies simply re-inject that waste water back deep underground where the oil extraction took place. But other times, Marshall said, the waste water is re-injected into aquifers closer to the surface. Those injections are supposed to go into aquifers that the EPA calls “exempt”—in other words, not clean enough for humans to drink or use.
But in the State’s letter to the EPA, officials admit that in at least nine waste water injection wells, the waste water was injected into “non-exempt” or clean aquifers containing high quality water.
For the EPA, “non-exempt” aquifers are underground bodies of water that are “containing high quality water” that can be used by humans to drink, water animals or irrigate crops.
If the waste water re-injection well “went into a non-exempt aquifer. It should not have been permitted,” said Marshall.
Yet it was, to the tune of 3 billion gallons. And nobody said a word about it until someone finally did a little research and found that people, especially those in power, lie.
And lie they did because the severity of the pollution is only now becoming clear:
In its reply letter to the EPA, California’s Water Resources Control Board said its “staff identified 108 water supply wells located within a one-mile radius of seven…injection wells” and that The Central Valley Water Board conducted sampling of “eight water supply wells in the vicinity of some of these… wells.”
“This is something that is going to slowly contaminate everything we know around here,” said fourth- generation Kern County almond grower Tom Frantz, who lives down the road from several of the injection wells in question.
According to state records, as many as 40 water supply wells, including domestic drinking wells, are located within one mile of a single well that’s been injecting into non-exempt aquifers.
That well is located in an area with several homes nearby, right in the middle of a citrus grove southeast of Bakersfield.
Cue the just as angry community organizers:
“That’s a huge concern and communities who rely on water supply wells near these injection wells have a lot of reason to be concerned that they’re finding high levels of arsenic and thallium and other chemicals nearby where these injection wells have been allowed to operate,” said Kretzmann.
“It is a clear worry,” said Juan Flores, a Kern County community organizer for the Center on Race, Poverty and The Environment. “We’re in a drought. The worst drought we’ve seen in decades. Probably the worst in the history of agriculture in California.”
“No one from this community will drink from the water from out of their well,” said Flores. “The people are worried. They’re scared.”
It remains to be seen just whom that other, far more prominent community organizer will blame for this latest environmental debacle. Surely it will somehow be the fault of the Keystone pipeline?
In the meantime, the oil companies are already taking defensive measures, blaming the fiasco on... a "paperwork issue."
The trade association that represents many of California’s oil and gas companies says the water-injection is a “paperwork issue.” In a statement issued to NBC Bay Area, Western States Petroleum Association spokesman Tupper Hull said “there has never been a bona vide claim or evidence presented that the paperwork confusion resulted in any contamination of drinking supplies near the disputed injection wells.”
Well, actually, there is:
However, state officials tested 8 water supply wells within a one-mile radius of some of those wells.
Four water samples came back with higher than allowable levels of nitrate, arsenic, and thallium.
Those same chemicals are used by the oil and gas industry in the hydraulic fracturing process and can be found in oil recovery waste-water.
And now back to the source of it all: the California Department of Conservation, where we are confident a little further investigative reporting will find millions in kickbacks and corruption, all funded by the oil and gas "lobby."
When asked how this could happen in the first place, Marshall said that the long history of these wells makes it difficult to know exactly what the thinking was.
“When you’re talking about wells that were permitted in 1985 to 1992, we’ve tried to go back and talk to some of the permitting engineers,” said Marshall. “And it’s unfortunate but in some cases they (the permitting engineers) are deceased.”
Kern County’s Water Board referred the Investigative Unit to the state for comment.
We hope to learn who the state will refer the unit for comment next.
Finally, for those living around the blue dots, avoiding the tapwater for the time being may be a good idea.
As for whether the public's opinion about fracking is changed as a result of revelations such as this: we reserve judgment until comparative Investigative Units piece uncover how many billion gallons in fracking wastewater was dumped in other states where the shale miracle is (still) alive and well.

Wrong. There is plenty of fracking going on in Kern County and the rest of the Central Valley.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/California_and_fracking
The error was not knowing "Exempt from what?" Polluting or not polluting?
So it's been going on for 20 to 25 years and we are blaming it on fracking? Seriously? All oil wells produce water. All water is either pumped back into a different location in the formation (called water flooding) or pumped into a disposal well. This doesn't look much like it was due to fracking and why haven't people been falling over dead or getting cancer for years now?
The same people will barbecue your ass in molasses for pouring dirty motor oil on the weeds along the fence.
How many billions of gallons of poison were dumped in the well again?
If Joe Regular accidentally releases a mylar balloon while proposing to his girlfriend he gets hammered like the guy in Florida. I think they SWAT teamed his ass.
Big Corporation ruins a county water supply, basically poisons an entire area, and "mistakes were made."
The people that profit from the current situation will not willingly change. There is some "convincing" to be done.
Heeeeeres Fascism!
Since DHS doesn't really have a job and the contractor Swat Teams don't have a job... they can't justify their salaries with training runs.
- Maybe they will be forced by the people to prove their use and end up Swatting Businesses
- Swatting kids at school, farmers, dairy ranchers, and wedding parties for Training is just plain offensive and fascist... and expensive
- Probably the Swat Teams have Federal Funds or Domestic Assistance Funding from Congress
Juxtaposition: word of the day.
- an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
- We need to compare the way you are more often.
Someone was talking about Halliburton merger with BHI, saying hey we used to break up big companies & their monopolies with Anti-Trust Law.
O/T but interesting:

The professional agitators flown in and well funded from Holder are spreading their "protests" out into other areas around STL. It is like a metasticizing cancer of genuinely stupid violent reprobates. Lock and load good people of STL. Don't get caught out without enough firepower to fight your way home.
The bitterly cold weather will put a damper on the protests. The protesters can't deal with bitter cold.
Watch and see.
that's what the czar said
Now that was the best comment of the day.
I thought the best agents provocateurs were in the CIA, FBI, Army, and maybe others services and now we have DHS (who is a wild card).
But yeah, subcontracting out is done in these agencies.
In the last few minutes Gov. Jay Nixon issued a State of Emergency for the next 30 days.
My tap water often times has a taste that reminds of a wet dog. Not sure why?
Yes, a little known fact but waste dogs from shelters are often used for lubrication in deep gas wells.
You and Rover both need to stop drinking out of the toilet.
Has anybody already invented the term " being gang-fracked" for what happens to the Cali constituency?
Just collect your rain water with your drip pan (oil changes an anti-freeze) and drink from that why wait for them to "make a mistake" I say stay ahead of the trends
/s
A yes, here it is again.
You stupid Americans !
To the people of California: You elected these criminals. Why don't you all get together for a toast and chug down a nice, big, cool glass of this water to remind yourself that you will be stupid forever? Maybe you can irrigate your crops with diet soda.
Maybe you can irrigate your crops with gatorade.
fixed it for ya!
Are your politicians that much better?
Can't grow weed with motor oil clogging the misters and nozzles.
Would think the Marijuanna smokers and growers would join to go after these big corporations.
Typical business in the fucking US.
Make gazillions. Kill people basically. And afterwards........"oh were sorry about that". Someone gets slapped on the wrist. Someone that shouldn't go to jail does. And the criminals are off for their next round of destruction.
I am totally sick of this fucking bullshit.
Here in The D a lazy union Water Works employee forgot to turn on a valve which resulted in flooding the Metro Area.
FEMA is handing cash out to make it OK.
Typical government. State officials, state protected water.
California state officials allowed oil and gas companies to pump up to 3 billion gallons (call it 70 million barrels) of oil fracking-contaminated waste water into formerly clean aquifiers
Didn't Portland dump millions of gallons of water because a guy pissed into the reservoir.
I remember that, too. It's funny because piss won't really hurt you, or pee guzzling Menachem Begin would have never lasted as long as he did.
Mexicans shi.. defecating on lettuce is OK.
E. Coli on lettuce is not the result of Mexicans defecating on it.
It's the result of water runoff from industrial beef feed lots.
E Coli breeds like crazy in corn-fed cattle's guts.
Switching to a grass diet kills 80% of the E. Coli present in beef within five days.
What's this about pee guzzling Menachem Begin? I'm fascinated.
Years ago I read (in Time or NewsWeek, maybe) that he stored his urine in jars and drank it every morning to start the day off right.
The best part of waking up, is Menchim in your cup!
In Soviet Murica, environment polutes you.
Well this really is the how the Democratic-environmental party feel about people.
How could the entire state and federal bureaucracy in Democratic controlled California do this over decades?
That is not a rhetorical question.
Who EXACTLY are the people involved and the names of the companies?
The silence from the California corporate media speak volumes about how these fascists operate.
Worse than crazy.
Evil.
Reagan and Schwarzenegger said this was fixed.
'No es bueno'
- Typical comment from people standing in line at the DMV.
There was recently a overturned truck on hwy 1 here in northern Cal. The truck leaked about 40 gallons of fuel which stayed on the pavement. The state made them dig up the road to a depth of 2' and repave everyplace the diesel touched and all the dug up road was treated as toxic waste. About $500k for dealing with it. Last night on the news they were talking about the old bay bridge which they are currently dismantling, there are Cormorants which nest on the bridge and so they are spending millions of dollars on trying to get them to nest on the new bridge. If the birds lay eggs they have to stop work till spring. Yes this is the same California. The bird laws are federal though.
What is it about the word "liberty" you don't understand?
MOLOTOV TOMATOES BITCHEZ!!!!
lol knew this would happen when fracking was making its headway years ago.
"gashole" is a good documentary that sheds some light on fracking. No good will come of that shit.
Sell your soul for a dollar.
looks like I'm ruffling the feathers of a few assholes who have feathers up their butts and think they're chickens.
lol not my fault you're a whore with no moral foundation. Enjoy it while it lasts. My sort of satisfaction doesn't have a price tag.
Yours does.
That's what makes you a whore.
Raise the allowed levels for contaminates in the potable water supply. Problem solved. See how simple that was?
we'll be able to metabolize petrol in a few million years, so it's all good.
just take a tums and you'll be okay/
Is there anything,,,, anything amerikans can't fu*k up?
Boy do we need a hard reset and fast!
"They didn't frack that ...."
Good thing there isn't a drought on or this would be a real embarassment!
... oh wait
don't get upset ... boys are just trying to beat deflation by all means ... even by poisoning your drinking water.
Health, water , food, energy, taxes etc ... all basics must rise (by "terorist attacks", "accident" poisoning, pig bird etc flu, infected cucumbers, obamacare, ebola, trade wars etc etc) or corupt moneyprinting system will just explode. Just wait for next disaster - stock market has already discounted it
Probably allowed to happen intentionally, officials likely knew that they could slither out of blame with the help of the media and the clinton news network would run titles such as "fracking waste contaminates drinking water". They should have done it before the elections maybe firing up the brain dead radical envirocommunists and maybe holding on to at least one more seat for the dems.
I am convinced that the third planet from the sun has been taken control of by a destructive, parasitic alien race. And I have a firm idea what country they are based in.
Convinced? There's no possible doubt whatsoever about it.
Indeed. What part of Eire do you hail from?
Problem for them is that they have been thrown out of more countries than one can count, but now dominate the planet.
Is the moon available?

the damn commies already have mars. It's redn'all.
Paraguay.
The resolution is clearly another government agency or 2 (or 3) to supervise the other government agency. We might need to levy some more taxes, but . . . it's for our drinking water!!!
This is precisely why I voted against the fracking measure. Go figure, I was right and the oil industry was wrong.

Now THAT is America.

And California's Governor, Jerry Brown, is considering running for president.
Where does America get these "leaders"?
I sometimes wonder if our grand-kids are going to come out of all this crap laughing their arses off.
Eventually, I would imagine all of the secret photos/videos of our "leaders" will be leaked to the public.
"Errors Were Made"
Now I know what my defense is going to be if I rape my neighbor's daughter.

"Errors were Made, Some People Died"
An irrefutable Law Of Nature: All regulatory agencies will over time become enablers of those they profess to regulate.
Oh don't worry as stated by the Dept in the news clip, they are investigating the water and comparing to the water injected by the wells to see if the contamination was actually by the wells that injected fracked water or "Back Ground" water i.e from the brack ground of nowhere or everywhere. So far it suggests the contamination is from the Background, not the wells injecting contaminated water.
Nestle, who own a lot of the water companies in California, will do well. Water contamination seems to be becoming a major issue at the moment in the USA. Who does well from that?
If there is a list of people who should be dead, maybe this guy could apply for a spot on that list -

And so who is going to jail for:
A. allowing the project to go forward (the head of the US and California EPAs should be in jail)
B. Polluting the environment
C. Endangering lives and possibly poisoning people?
Somebody has to go to jail.
How many bankers are in jail?
Lets face it. Without this polluted water, agriculture would have been hit x10 harder than it alerady has. Wonder what a head of lettuce will be next year?
Or Can the FED print it like greenbacks?
Why do I think this is NOT a mistake?
Regan/Thatcher era tried to privatize water. It was a FAIL and cause some governments to topple.
Of course the ones that suffered the most were the poor.
Privatization of water is being tried again. The de-sal plants on the Calif coast line are privately owned.
Some things should NOT be run 'for profit'.
Water is most definately one of them.
So if the aquifers were to get trashed....guess just who would be ready to step in to 'save' us.
Haliburton?
How convienent.
US citizens are starting to know what it feels like to live in Nigeria.
Well I guess that is one way to conserve water. Put it back after use...
Chemicals? What chemicals?
Get Erin Brokovich a botox treatment and a boob job and get her ass out there!
Last time I saw her name, she was trolling the internet for an asbestos-settlement lawyer in, I think, DC. No lie.
I think she had a boating DWI last year too.
Sorry Mendolover, Erin Brokovich is busy Downunder spruiking on The Box the benefits of hiring a particular firm of ambulance chasing lawyers in Queensland.

That really isn't a lot of water, believe it or not. Not even a tiny part of a cubic mile, which would be a square one mile wide and one mile deep. Here are the totals for such a volume...
1 cubic mile is equivalent to:
1.1 trillion gallons is the figure that leaps out, which means that 3 billion gallons is about 9200 acre feet, or enough to cover a square mile to a depth of about 14 feet. And this water was injected over an unknown but possibly long amount of time. Messed up some local wells, sure. The end of life in California? Puh-lease.
But do carry on with the wild speculations about ruined multi-thousand-mile area acquifers, et al.
And it makes outstanding KoolAid too!
Really?
You think that is how it works?
But..., (I know this is a stretch) what if one gallon of this water is capable of making 1,000 gallons of water undrinkable.
Of course if that is the case then the FDA will oblige by reducing the quality standards of water.
During WWII they found that just a few drops of diesl fuel in a submarine's fresh water supply made it pretty much intolerable.
BTW....about 10% of the chems put into the water used for fracking are 'unknown'. Meaning it is proprietary information that companies are not required to list. And when testing it really helps to know what you are testing for in the first place.
Indeed

Saving the environment....one red rose at a time.
I remember reading about Chinese farmers not using the water from wells because it turned the plants yellow and then killed them due to the pollution there.
Can't let the other side of the world have ALL the fun.
The story and the principals in the story are suspect as usual. Waste water disposal wells aren't, are not, the same as injecting into an aquifer. Your touchstone of environmental 'science' the EPA, hasn't been able with billions of TaxPayer dollars, to show any public health danger regarding fracking. Don't believe it? Just read their own (we were just sure our tainted study at the Wyoming frackng site) SierraClub-EPA failure.
Its cheaper to ask for forgiveness than permission. (or something like that)
Now we know why GB doesn't allow it
A lot more people have died due to ObamaSnare (i.e. VA Health system) than any alleged water tainting by drilling, fracking, or anything connected with the industry. Well save Texas City explosions :)
Having lived here in the Granola State for the last 20 years, I find it so ironic that the enviro-nazis have been in control for so long (and currently have enjoyed a super-majority in both state houses, plus the vast majority of state-wide executive offices) that they have NO ONE to blame but themselves (and those who repeatedly vote them into office).
Fracking in and of itself is not the issue. It's the corruption that's the issue. And, again, NO ONE is to blame except for the enviro-wackos of this state.

Maybe I have lost my sense of humor but I do not have any patience for the folks who say that the spill is insignificant.
Maybe the spill will poison all of California? Maybe not?
The way I see things is that if this crap was dumped next door to my land, I would be pissed. I would expect my surrounding neighbors would feel dreadfully maligned. I can not offer any logic or reason to justify our sense of injustice but I do not care.
So, the real question is this: What recourse do the neighbors have?
Every other line of discussion is a diversion.
I like hyperbole as much as the next guy, but is there any actual (as in measured) data on negative consequences of this decades old injected volume? There seems to be reference to nearby water producing wells but I'm unclear if these nearby wells are producing from the waste water aquifer. If so, how bad does the water test?
PS If you respond with more hyperbole, please have the decency to elucidate which conclusion you want me to jump to.
hmn
This all goes back to Radical Marijuana's theory of a world built on foundations of lies that begat more lies until only progressively more insane lies are spiralling out of control and the only to to actually FIX the situation is to employ equally insane tactics in order to rebalance the out of control money murder system blah blah blah.... How does that apply to this situation? Well, a suitable scenario would be:
1. Finding out exactly WHO is responsible for what happened. Who took bribes, who made bribes, who gave the go ahead at the BOARD level and the EXECUTIVE level at the oil companies, and anyone else DIRECTLY involved in allowing this to happen
2. Encorage every single one of them to suicide themselves with double taps to the head
3. Let the rest of them know that we're coming for them unless they REVERSE COURSE
It's that simple. But it won't happen. And this is fucking serious. If I lived in that part of the world I would be thinking about getting out of dodge or strapping on some kamikaze shit and go looking for scalps because the nightmare is now here. This is about where the mercenaries realize that their families are also getting fucked by the bastards paying them off and things start to get a little less predictable.

This kind of thing pretty much "alwasys" happens in the US (and probably other places, as it seems all humans are prone to greed and associated corruption.
what part of fraking you do not understand ?
fracking is fracking
It's just an oops. Move the hole 10 feet over. Nobody really needed to tell.
Where's the EPA? Follow the money and eventually you'll find a lobbyist and a politician at the head of the line. Different rules for different "folks". That's all America is now.
It has electrolytes!
Is it okay if I enjoy the sweet irony of "green" jizz heads sucking frac water in their morning coffee in the wonderful state of California?
Fuck you oil and gas stooges! You would be covered in oil and tell us it's water proofing.
Fortunately for these "regulators," Americans, especially Californians are passive and will ignore this poisoning as the NFL playoffs start to gear up.

If you call it 'metric tonnes', it's an even smaller number.
Only 10 million metric tonnes of oil went into the aquifer.
BUBKES.
