In an April 2023 DEP determination of whether natural gas drilling contaminated a Washington County family’s water well, DEP said the “widespread presence of PFAS” forever chemicals in fresh water may have led to “inadvertently” using contaminated water to frack a shale gas well. But, DEP concluded the use of contaminated water did not result in polluting the water well with PFAS chemicals.

Triumph Township in Warren County published an advertisement in the Warren County Guide on May 8 soliciting bids for approximately 100,000 gallons of salt brine to dump on township roads. The ad specified the salt brine must not be “regulated by Pa DEP” and must be “at least 25% chlorides.” The ad did not specify what time of year the 100,000 gallons of salt brine would be spread on roads, except to say “as directed by the township.” 100,000 gallons is about 25 truck loads of brine.
