    Partial List of Spills, Accidents, and Violations

    Compiled by MOB members

    As fracking and its ancillary operations are charging full steam ahead across Butler County, we are seeing almost daily reports of high profile and high volume spills, explosions, accidents, deaths, reported violations, fines and acknowledgement of old and continuing violations.  We thought that we would highlight a few to give you a sense of the destruction that fracking leaves in its path.   This is by no means a full list.
