In my signature. I am just changing it over to today now.

EPA: 2 Parker County homes at risk of explosion after gas from 'fracked' well contaminates aquifer

Ok not Arkansas but shows it happens yet again. By the way I am not ignoring you I am working on the site.

I just wanted to say that this site should be taken over by someone from Arkansas, or at least by an American. I have made westcoast an administrator basically because once this is up an running I shall take a back seat and it was westcoast's idea in the first place. I am happy to remain an editor but I don't have the time to run it. I have 8 other blogs and 3 programs to write. I am happy to tweet the quakes however.

It's been a while since an updated resources has been posted. These are links used in the previous 77 pages.

Hope this helps!

“These earthquake swarms are not that unusual for the region,” said Harley Benz, scientist in charge at the U.S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Information Center. “Central Arkansas has a history of earthquake activity with a swarm of thousands of earthquakes smaller than magnitude 4.5 in the early 1980s and another swarm in 2001, known as the Enola earthquake swarms.”

Can we get often posted links to the facebook and twitter pages, so those coming in can find them easier.

Just a thought, cause I had to go back several pages to find them.

thanks

um, I guess I should do that. I'll put them in my signature. And then I'll do a lot of idle talking. No, just kidding. I'm sure I can figure it out. If anyone else wants to do that go for it.

Upon consultation, it was advised, to reference where to start reading. It is against site rules to advocate other websites. I inferred I would support their decisions.
In other words, we cant tell folks go to fb and join our cause, but if they do......well.

Sunflower, thank you for re-posting the links.

I will "dig in" to the list as soon as I get my little ones off to bed

Also, thanks for sending them to me (I couldn't reply to your message because I don't have enough posts yet).

Fracking Resource Guide

Some of these I have put on Fracking Arkansas under Horror Stories.

That page does not exist any longer. It got moved to Fracking Arkansas

no problem, have been there, after 20 posts your u2u will open up. go for it!
2nd line.

Thanks, edited masterlist. Also the Fracking Resource guide is awesome, added.

What the activity like tonight?
Hope its quiet, but not too quiet, might not be such a good sign.

reply to post by SunflowerStar


Yes looks quiet.

This is something that does not come out in the videos of fracking. They give the impression of a few feet.

These fractures start at the injection well and extend as much as a few hundred metres into the reservoir rock

hi guys. looks like a few have done a lot of hard exhausting work on this thread. i dont have time to read all 78 pages so would someone please be kind enough to do a summary of what this thread is all about.

reply to post by PuterMan


Key conclusion in that pdf about UK and Europe's position on this technology.

"Evidence from the US suggests shale gas extraction brings a significant risk
of ground and surface water contamination and until the evidence base is
developed a precautionary approach to development in the UK and Europe is
the only responsible action."

In surfing your latest link PM I found this gem and thought I might bring it to the forefront if you don't mind me doing so.

Keep drilling toxics out of our drinking water

If you want an easy way to communicate your thoughts to your States senators and Represenatives and ask them to support the FRAC act (twin bills in the Senate (S 1215) and House (HR 2766) to close the so-called "Halliburton" loophole in the Safe Drinking Water Act) then this is the site to go to. You can put in your zipcode and find the contact information for your State officials. They've even given you a pre-formed letter you can change as you see fit or send it off as is.

This is an important step in stopping the fracking. Companies unchecked by federal regulations will always abuse the power given to them and take shortcuts to increase their profit margins.

Above your post, on this very page, is a list of links for you when you need an answer to a question you may have.

Here's a quick summary. Central Arkansas has had a swarm over the last year with nearly 900 earthquakes. The USGS says it's probably normal, but they've had to admit that they can't rule out deep well injection disposal. It's part of the fracking process used in the Natural Gas Industry. The injection has been proven to cause quakes. And since Arkansas is being drilled intensively, and because it has faults different than those in other tectonic zones, mid-continental earthquakes may be triggered by different process and can be influence by adjacent fault networks.

In short. The gas companies may set off a massive quake somewhere near the New Madrid Zone.

It is in the works, the need for synopsis basically presented itself over the last day or so. The person thats volunteered to do that is still summarizing and working on it. So it will be a bit to let him get his work done.

Wow, 55 friends of Arkansas.

Ok, if you want my confession, it's on Robinesque Ruminations. I have to put it there as not to distract.

And I don't want to forget to hunt down information on the Enola quakes and possible drilling or injection pre-1980.
