"Hellbent" tells the story of a small, rural town trying to keep a frack waste injection well out of their community to preserve their drinking water and save a rare salamander.
Eastern hellbender salamanders need clean streams with high water quality and silt-free stream beds to find their prey and avoid predators. Pipeline construction isn't making that easy.
Pipeline projects are crisscrossing our region so that natural gas can get to market. One rural community in coal country is struggling to keep up with all the construction while trying to protect its natural resources.
