1. Yes, indeedy. it is.

2. This is happening everywhere around me, as you know.

It's very sad and sickening.

This is how bad it has gotten in Pennsylvania, and since I live in an area that is directly affected (almost my very own back yard), this is very real for me:

General Permit Number WMGR064. General Permit Number WMGR064 authorizes the beneficial use of natural gas well brines for roadway pre-wetting (brines mixed with antiskid materials prior to roadway application), anti-icing (brines applied directly to roadway and walkway surfaces prior to precipitation event), and for roadway de-icing purposes (brine is applied directly to roadway surfaces after precipitation event). The Department is proposing to renew General Permit Number WMGR064 and make a major modification to the general permit to also authorize the beneficial use of natural gas well brines for (i) dust suppressant and (ii) stabilizer for unpaved secondary roadway systems.

I feel as though I'm living in Bizarro World.

:wtf:

The thing that is really sad to me is that I could afford to move if things get really bad in this area, but many, many people can't. They're the people for which I'm righteously indignant about this obscene industry.
