I guess it depends on what value one places on the streams or stream that is returned to health by capturing the amd water.John Hangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565915866938789295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664957094233317169.post-73598808071306638722012-04-19T10:14:11.785-04:002012-04-19T10:14:11.785-04:00Has this actually been tried?

With the industry already having imperfect solutions to disposing of waste water, it doesn't seem like a great idea to throw in another toxic waste source into the mix. I'm all for finding solutions to amd - but since the quantities are so large compared to what the drillers need, it seems like a risky thing to do with not that much benefit. I guess it could be the next example of our fine state being an experimental zone?G.

If possible, it might be a great idea to try to link this use with an existing wastewater treatment system near a major railway. I proposed this concept about 3 years ago and Mine Drainage will actually help treat flowback and production water.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09447549443447237932noreply@blogger.com
