Announcement from Ryan Clover, Halt the Harm Network, March 8, 2021
Are you concerned about injection wells? Want to meet other people working to prevent them?
Not sure if you’ve seen this yet – but FracTracker put together a report about disposal wells in PA and Matt Kelso will join us this Friday at our weekly live event.
Matt is the Manager of Data and Technology at FracTracker, so I’m sure we’ll have lots to discuss. I look forward to seeing what comments or questions you bring to the conversation on Friday.
