Mike SmithDemocrats of West Oakland County Attention to my fellow White Lake residents and beyond – the EPA is getting ready to issue an underground injection permit to the Jordan Oil Company that will allow them inject undisclosed toxic waste water, the byproduct of fracking, into the ground near Teggerdine and White Lake Road. This area will be a permanent dumping site for the toxic leftover material from other fracking sites (chemicals that are toxic and dangerous to humans). We have less than two weeks to request a hearing before they approve the permit (Nov 25th). So unless we request this hearing, it goes through and we will not get any information about how the well is being build, the chemicals being injected into the well, and the safeguards, if any, in their plan and so on. I have attached a sample letter you can sign and mail, scan and email, copy, etc. to spread the word. Please tell everyone you know to submit a letter, phone call, email, or fax, requesting a public hearing to appeal permit approval for the injection well. We demand that there be a discussion on: the anticipated life of the disposal well, the chemicals being injected, the makeup and safeguards of the well, the trucks transporting the chemicals to the well, and the possible effects on ground water due to the numerous underwater aquifers in our area. Please write to: U.S. EPA, Water Division ATTN: Anna Miller UIC Branch (WU-16J) 77 W Jackson Blvd Chicago IL 60604-3590 email: [email protected] Ref: MI-125-2D-0005 We need to stand up together and fight to oppose this permit and not allow White Lake to become a toxic dumping site. Please share this with everyone you know in White Lake because there has been no public disclosure that this is happening.
