Fracking Brine and Niagara Falls

While not Ohio-centric, I was surprised to learn that the Niagara Falls had considered accepting fracking brine. The board opted to pass on the "frackertunity" based on the fact that they have already experiences Love Canal and don't want to revisit the experience.

The city recently banned storing and transporting waste-water, in a sense blocking frac truck's access to the Niagara Falls Water Board.

Council Chairman Sam Fruscione recently provided an excellent quote in a Wall Street Journal/Associated Press article, "We're not selling out future generations of our children for corporate greed." Kudos Mr. Fruscione, for looking out for your constituents.
