Five Sites Already Earmarked For Fracking Waste In The UK!!!
Vast quantities of toxic and radioactive waste are produced by fracking. In the U.S. hundreds of billions of gallons of liquid waste is overwhelming the limited capacity of treatment plants which cannot remove all the contaminants. Hundreds of thousands of injection wells are being used to force waste underground causing swarms of earthquakes. Combined with spills and dumping the waste is contaminating land, waterways and groundwater with a wide range of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals.
There are five sites already earmarked for fracking waste in the UK:
- Bran Sands Treatment Works Middlesbrough (Northumbrian Water)
- Knostrop Treatment Works Leeds (FCC Environmental)
- Valley Works Stoke-On-Trent (Castle Environmental)
- Kings Cliffe Landfill Peterborough (Augean)
- Davyhulme Treatment Works in Greater Manchester (United Utilities)
Davyhulme has already been used for the disposal of waste from Cuadrilla’s first frack in 2011. After a change in regulations Davyhulme would now require a license to take the waste.
