they will kill you...

secret sauce

A new study from Stanford has confirmed that fracking operations are contaminating drinking water sources in Wyoming.

“This is a wake-up call,” said lead author Dominic DiGiulio, a visiting scholar at Stanford School of Earth, Energy &Environmental Sciences. “It's perfectly legal to inject stimulation fluids into underground drinking water resources. This may be causing widespread impacts on drinking water resources.”

Of course this comes soon after a Pennsylvania jury awarded $4.24 million to two families in Dimock, PA who sued Cabot Oil for contaminating their drinking water via fracking operations. And a new study that has found fracking — and not just frack waste injection — is causing earthquakes in Canada.

Reuters recently reported that Environmental Protection Agency chief Gina McCarthy revealed that, “Methane emissions from existing sources in the oil and gas sector are substantially higher than we previously understood.”

So, it shouldn’t be too surprising that a new poll from Gallup finds that opposition to fracking among the American public has increased in the past year and now a majority of Americans oppose fracking.

A few of those products are not benign, even if we use then daily to wipe our kitchen bench tops with... I don't. I hate the smell and I DON'T WANT TO KILL 99.9 per cent of germs — as often we kill "good" germs and the nasty ones become super resistant by overdoing it.... A bit of water and it's clean as new... 

Acids, presented to us as "swimming pool cleaners"... We know what happened to an octopus being "pool cleaned", don't we? And there is a big range of "acids"... from diluted acetic acid in vinegar to fluoridric acid that is used to etch glass... So, which acid(s) is it?...

Table salt? I live on the stuff... The sea is full of it... but we know what happens when too much of it gets into the soils, don't we? It's not called the white death for nothing...

PolyacrylamidePolyacrylamide, though I would not drink it, is apparently "not toxic", except it can contain residues that are strong neurotoxins. It's a bit like a flocculent or in some jargon it's like dishwashing liquid or surfactant, but it's not...

Ethylene Glycol is an alcohol that is dangerous to drink or even to breathe fumes of. It's basically a poison to life forms. It is used for anti-freeze in cars — not that we need any at the moment. 

Borate salts are a bit like phosphate... Too much of it and natural balance gets upset... Same again we're looking at washing powders that are often blamed for surge of algal blooms from effluents in rivers.

Sodium/potassium carbonate  is used as an anti-caking agent or as a replacement for bicarb of soda  and acts as a dehumidifier...

Glutaraldehyde is a powerful "disinfectant" (life-killer) used in hospitals and serious protection needs to be used to avoid skin contact... To have this product running wild from runoffs and seepage in the environment ain't going to do any good...

Guar Gum is basically a form of sugar from the sap of a tree, a substance that is used in food IN SMALL QUANTITIES and as an E number...

Isopropanol is a solvent. It is what's in your Spray and Wipe bottle... It's a nasty little alcohol as well except when used as "rubbing" alcohol... The salt will help the separation of it away from water when mixed... Thus all these chemicals would be used at different times for different purposes in the fracturing of rocks and coal seams

water leaks...

 

Has Santos negligence and poor Government oversight caused millions of litres of toxic water to drain into the Great Artestian Basin in NSW, causing massive environmental damage? Lachlan Barker reports.

Today (6 April 2016) another court case starts involving the massively unpopular Santos CSG project at Narrabri, in north-west NSW.

The essence of the case is that the NSW government has fast-tracked the project and are allowing Santos to build a water treatment plant and holding ponds without having to do a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

Instead, the O’Farrell/Baird Government allowed Santos to get away with a Review of Environmental Factors (REF), which allows a much lower level of clearance and, crucially, does not allow public input for objections which is part of the higher level EIS process.

So, on the eve of the court case, to have discovered the hastily approved project is already suffering fatal engineering failure is concerning to say the least.

Thus, in approximate chronological order, here is what happened.


....


 

And I might add: ‘the EPA understands’ is less than confidence inspiring. The citizens of NSW would prefer the EPA "knows", not just blithely accepting everything Santos tell them.

Now Santos will, no doubt, argue there is no problem here. If another liner is found to be defective then we will just pump that pond out and fix that liner.

However, this is clearly not acceptable. There is already controversy over whether these ponds can take the waste from the Leewood plant as it is.

The project is currently in the exploration phase, with 20 or so wells producing gas. In full production, Santos are planning 850 wells in the Pilliga.

These wells are to produce 1.5 gigalitres (GL) of produced water a year, the ponds capacity is 600 million litres (0.6 GL).

The reverse osmosis treatment is said by Santos to reduce this amount of water by 80-85%, leaving a heavily salty brine solution to be stored in the ponds.LandWaterFuture estimate 0.5 GL of brine will be produced over the five year exploration phase, all to be stored in these ponds.

So, if these ponds are near full to the brim with brine, if a liner fails in one of the ponds, what then? They cannot pump the brine into another pond as the other three won’t have the capacity available.

And of course what if two liners in separate ponds fail at the same time?

And what if there is a problem with the RO plant and it has to shut down for maintenance/repair? Presumably, the constant stream of water from the wells will have to be poured into the already groaningly full ponds to await RO processing.

Also, as a side note, the locals accuse that these ponds are evaporation ponds, which are now illegal, it is to be hoped that comes up in the court case as well.

So why has this liner already proved defective? Well, the engineers tell us that polyethylene liners often don’t do well when forced to cope with high salt loads and high UV exposure.

Polyethylene sheets and polypropylene ropes are VERY susceptible to UV rays. In some cases, this "phototendering" is counteracted with nasty additives such as benzophenones, which have been described as Contact Allergen of the Year by the American Contact Dermatitis Society in 2014. In other cases, this ability for plastic to "perish" under UV rays is used by manufacturers to tell us these products are "bio-degradable". It's the biggest bullshit sell ever. The plastic breaks up into millions smaller pieces eventually ending up in the oceans whirlpools of rubbish. 

Nylon does not suffer from phototendering effect much. Most synthetic ropes on ships are nylon based. 

In regard to the holding ponds, we can expect more problems as more CSG is exploited. The chemicals used in CSG extraction will infiltrate the soil right down to the water level of the great artesian basin, during and after the extraction.
