Gulfport pays fine

columbus

Gulfport Energy has paid a $250,000 fine after the Ohio Department of Natural Resources discovered ground contamination at seven well pads in southeast Ohio.

The fine is Ohio’s first to be levied against a company engaged in horizontal hydraulic fracturing. ODNR inspectors found contamination at sites in Harrison and Belmont counties in May and June.

Fluid that leaked from the pads was handled incorrectly, and rips in protective liners allowed the brine to seep into the soil.

Gulfport has agreed to change the way it constructs well pads, and no groundwater contamination was detected in the affected areas.

US offers labels for used-car gas mileage

DETROIT

The U.S. government has come up with window labels that show the gas mileage and pollution of used cars.

The Energy Department and the Environmental Protection Agency say the labels can be downloaded or viewed on the website www.fueleconomy.gov.

Labels are available for all vehicles sold in the U.S. since 1984. They show mileage and carbon dioxide emissions estimates.

The government says the stickers are valid for used cars because mileage changes little over a vehicle’s 15-year life if it’s maintained properly.

Used car sellers and dealers can post the stickers on car windows to advertise mileage. Buyers can search the site for the models they want to buy.

Judge won’t block meat-labeling rules

OMAHA, Neb.

A federal judge has refused to block new rules that require the meat industry to include specific information about the origin of their products on labels. Industry groups say they’ll continue fighting.

The new rules took effect in May and require that labels for steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat include clear information about where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in Washington, D.C., refused to issue a preliminary order Wednesday, though she didn’t decide the overall lawsuit.
