Do not spray frack water on our roads
In disregard of any possible ban, gas fracking is already spreading toxicity into our farmlands and rivers. Now there is a move to use the liquid detritus of fracking ("frack water") as a deadly road de-icing spray. To spread poison in this manner should be a criminal offense.
Why is this important?
I live in a county where this use of frack water has been outlawed; my concern is for the rest of the state, as well as other regions where this proposed practice would disseminate highly toxic materials onto all roadways and their perimeters, to be spread thence to adjoining land and waterways by snowplows, rainfall and foot traffic.
