With fracking, and proposed CCS and Carbon Capture Use and Storage projects, Ohio is becoming a sacrifice zone for the fossil fuel industry.

As we close out 2023, many Ohioans are still unaware of the negative effects fracking under our state parks and public lands will have on our health, the
environment and the planet from the oil and gas industry's greenhouse and methane gas emissions, as well as toxic fracking wastewater.

Science tells us that fresh water purity and supply; air quality; destruction of plant, animal and insect habitats; as well as increased
illness for people who live near parks and public lands to be fracked are likely.

Attached are two Save Ohio Parks documents.  One offers examples of comments and one with more information. 
The proposed rule, "Land Uses; Special Uses; Carbon Capture and Storage Exemption," and instructions on how to comment are available in the Federal Registe at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2023-24341.
