Last week MDN told you about the long-festering issue of building a shale wastewater injection well in Clara Township in Potter County, PA (see EPA Approves Potter County, PA Injection Well, Waiting Now for DEP). It appears the state Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) is about to issue a permit for the well. The federal EPA has already signed off and approved the plan. However, the township is attempting to block the injection well by amending a previous ordinance. The town is on the cusp of adopting an amendment to the existing injection well ordinance. At least, that’s how it appears. Clara Township has stopped responding to requests for information about the status of the amendment.
