Courier Express
LUTHERSBURG - A local company is preparing a permit application to build an injection well in Brady Township to dispose of liquids used in the hydrofracturing process that extracts gas from the Marcellus Shale formation.

Well it makes sense, if the waste and pollution is generated here, keep it here. It was just a matter of time and rightfully so.
We locals must be a bunch of dildines , if I understand correctly.
The fact that we even tolerate the making of this toxic waste is proof enough of the dildine mindset here
I am sorry but sincerely I do not understand what is meant by the "dildine mindset."
This dawg will never hunt....
Whoever invented that word "dildine" has no mindset. Speak in English so everyone understands. "This DAWG will never hunt? Should learn to spell too and quit calling people "DAWGS"!
Those of us who live in this area did not create this waste; perhaps your comments might be better suited to someone directly benefitting from the drilling. Those of us living in this area will only suffer the consequence of increased traffic and a toxic waste site near our homes with the potential to contaminate our water. Think that makes sense and that it is 'rightfully so'? Great -- perhaps you might want to live right next door to the proposed site, or better yet... think a moment before posting thoughtless comments which would likely be different if it were YOUR backyard.
