Ohio Valley: Know the Threats of the Petrochemical Industry
Wed, Aug 12
|Virtual Information Meeting
The continued development of the petrochemical and plastic production industry irreversibly endangers the health and livelihood of Appalachian communities. The Mountaineer NGL storage project would develop underground caverns for the storage of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) in the Salina formation.

About The Event
Communities in Appalachia are at risk due to the planned development of the petrochemical and plastic production industry. The Mountaineer NGL storage project would develop underground caverns for the storage of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) in the Salina formation. The liquids would be stored adjacent to and potentially beneath the Ohio River in Salem Township, Monroe County, Ohio. The approximately 200-acre site is one mile north of Clarington, OH, whose groundwater wells are only a mile away from the proposed storage site. The three solution mining wells are proposed to be built on the narrow strip of land between Route 7 and the Ohio River, which formerly consisted of coal washing ponds that have since been filled. The project would have a working storage capacity of 3.25 million barrels for storing ethane, butane, and propane.
