Conservation and public health groups filed a petition today urging the Environmental Protection Agency to require adequate measurement of the toxic air pollution being emitted by a facility that disposes of liquid waste from fracking and oil and gas production.
The Center for Biological Diversity and Grand Valley Citizens Alliance argued that a new permit held by the Parachute Water Management Facility improperly fails to require the plant to measure and document the effectiveness of flares used to burn off toxic pollution resulting from storage and processing of the fossil fuel waste products.
