Staff Writer ST. CLAIRSVILLE Work on two saltwater injection wells by Omni Energy Co. in East Richland will proceed after a conflict with the Ohio Department of Transportation was resolved. The project faced stiff local opposition since the announcement in December that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources had approved the permit. Area officials and residents expressed concern about the proximity of homes, county buildings, Belmont County Correctional Institution and educational centers, as well as expected heavy truck traffic that would accompany such a project. Omni officials said all studies were completed and state inspectors are on site monitoring operations. Drilling of the first well is underway, according to Stephanie O’Grady, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The company is scheduled to complete cementing of that shaft this week.
