On April 18th, a leak in the Jon (John) Day impoundment previously containing fracking brine and flowback fluids was discovered as workers were replacing the torn lining of a single-lined pit on the Amwell Township well. While initially not described as a “leak” by Range Resources Appalachia representatives[1] as the impoundment had been empty for a month or so, DEP investigations concluded that there was, in fact, a significant leak of fracking fluid and associated chemicals into the surrounding soil.[2] While numbers differ, an estimated 2,500-10,000 tons of contaminated soil has been removed from the site as of the end of May, 2014, and is being taken to Washington County landfills.[3][4][5]
The leak was not discovered until late April due to a compromised leak-detection monitor, and Range Resources Appalachia is unsure of how long ago the leak actually began or how long it had been leaking before the fluid was removed. The Range Resources spokesman reports the leak had a “minor impact” on the contaminated soil, and has had no impact on air or water quality. The DEP is investigating the truth of this claim through ongoing water and soil testing.[3]
