Townships seek help to control injection wells

WARREN — The Trumbull and Ashtabula counties township associations have taken their fight to increase protections for landowners near brine-injection wells to the next level.

The Trumbull Township Association approved a resolution last week to send the Ohio Township Association a list of 11 changes to Ohio law that township officials believe will better protect property values and the environment.

The Ashtabula County Township Association voted last month to recommend the additional protections, said Dominic Marchese, a Johntown Townshp trustee.

Several other counties are also reviewing the 11 proposed changes written by the Trumbull association and may eventually join with Trumbull and Ashtabula counties, Marchese said.
