Why Is Ohio The Fracking Waste Water Dumping Ground?

Are you surprised to learn that some are reporting that Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) records show that Ohio’s 179 underground disposal wells absorbed more than 1 BILLION gallons of fracking wastewater since 2010?  Much of the waste (briny water) came from Pennsylvania and other states.  Why?  Perhaps money is involved? The same article reports that in the first quarter of 2012, the ODNR grossed $76,068 in fees on in-state waste disposal and $379,165 on waste from Pennsylvania and beyond.  Are we willing to have a BILLION gallons of waste water pumped under Ohio so that the ODNR can collect $379k a quarter?  Here’s a link to the full article quoted above:

I’m interested in hearing from other sources whether these facts and numbers are true.
