The state found waste could be migrating through fractures in the shale and that the impacts create an “imminent danger” to health and the environment.
The injection well would have been 300 feet from the nearest home and dispose of fracking wastewater, which may pose risks to groundwater and air quality.
"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.
One geologist says the landscape is like "Swiss cheese" from a century of oil and gas drilling. All those wells could allow fracking wastewater to travel back to the surface.
