Volume of Injection Waste in Ohio in 2015 Higher Than Previously Reported

From the Akron Beacon Journal:
Ohio is continuing to set an all-time record for liquid drilling wastes being injected into underground rock formations: The 2015 injection total keeps growing. 
That’s because additional fees are being paid in 2016 by waste haulers to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Oil and Gas Resource Management. 
That 2015 volume was reported as 28.8 million 42-gallon barrels in March. Now it is up to 31.4 million barrels, as of May 20. 
That’s enough to fill nearly 2,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools with the salty wastes from shale drilling. 
That means that Ohio’s injection volume in 2015 grew by nearly 42.8 percent from 2014. The earlier reported percent was 27.2 percent. 
In 2014, 22.0 million barrels were disposed of in Ohio’s injection wells. That total was 16.3 million barrels in 2013.
