NORTH LIMA, Ohio - While many people are focusing on Youngstown's injection well, which is temporarily shut down, another local well is expected to start accepting waste water very soon.

The well is owned by D&L Energy Group, the same company that operates an injection well along Ohio Works Drive in Youngstown.

The well off Market Street in North Lima is not included in the moratorium that was imposed on injection wells, in reaction to suspicions that the Youngstown site may be linked to earthquakes.

A group of concerned citizens held a meeting at the old South Range High School to talk about the new well.

The speakers there feel any injection well could be hazardous to people's health and property.

One of the speakers, Julia Fuhrman Davis, says "'A lot of people out here have well water and where are they going to be getting the water for this hydraulic fracturing? Then they have these chemicals they pump into the ground. All over America they have problems with contaminated water, polluted air and decimated land values."

Youngstown State University Geology instructor Susie Biersdorfer says, "We don't have local control over where these wells are permitted or where they are drilled, both oil and gas and injection wells. It's time for people to voice and to take back the rights of the citizens."

But at least one resident says he's more or less in favor of local drilling.

Ron Ripp of North Lima says, "I am until they can really prove that it's really detrimental. I think something's are bad. I think some earthquakes happened at that well up there, but I think they'll find what's causing it and they'll correct it. There are many wells across the country that are working just fine."

Organizers of the meeting hope more concerned citizens will ask their local lawmakers to take action against accepting waste water.
