Why is this important?
Hydrofracking creates millions of gallons of wastewater, or "produced" water. It has been dumped into retention basins, concrete structures, etc. Pennsylvania is running out of room to get rid of the water, they want to process it in NJ wastewater treatment plants (sewage plants).
The produced water has chemicals that are not disclosed, so how can a plant process them, and treat them, and then put into our waterways which is done with other treated sewage? Our plants have lists of chemicals that they can and cannot treat.
The NJ Legislature voted almost unanimously to prohibit frack wastewater from NJ; the Gov vetoed it; and now various groups in NJ are working to over-ride the veto.
