Activists Disrupt Wastewater Fracking Site in Ohio 
---------------------------------------------------


 
Environmental activists shut down a wastewater site in Ohio on Tuesday
in a protest against hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. One demonstrator
climbed a 30-foot pole at the Greenhunter Water storage facility,
stopping trucks from dumping fracking wastewater. The site's operators
want to increase its capacity for dumping and transporting fracking
waste. Ten people were arrested in Tuesday's demonstration.
