Ohio Denies Evidence of Fracking Waste in Drinking Water. Its Own Records Show Otherwise

This story is published in partnership with DeSmog , the climate investigations site. Inside France's Fiery Protests: 'We Feel Completely Lost' In Ohio’s rural southeastern corner, Marietta College geology professor David Jeffrey was among the residents worried that industry activity in America’s booming natural gas region could be polluting their drinking water. That’s “the biggest fear,” he said at an August meeting with top Ohio officials. When Jeffrey and residents from advocacy groups Buckeye Environmental Network and Washington County for Safe Drinking Water met with Ohio officials, those state officials repeatedly assured residents that despite the up to 1.4 billion gallons of oil and gas wastewater injected in underground wells in their county and across Ohio each year, the state was unaware of any resulting drinking water contamination there. “We would have heard about it,” Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), which oversees both aspects of Ohio’s environment and its oil and gas industry, told residents in the August 17 virtual meeting. “No one has called us that I’m aware of,” said Eric Vendel, ODNR’s oil and gas division chief. “We have a water investigation form that can be filled out and we would have

Down the ballot: Ohioans top concerns as they head to the polls

ATHENS, Ohio —According to a recent survey , Ohioans’ top four concerns heading into the 2026 midterm elections are the cost of living, healthcare, affordable housing and data centers. The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted from Sept. 25-28, 2026 by Better Choices for Democracy, Centerline Research and Strategy, and Harris Poll. Of those surveyed, 66% were concerned about the cost of living, 44% were concerned about healthcare, 31% were concerned about affordable housing and 22% were concerned about data centers. All four of these issues will likely shape the outcome of elections in Athens County and Ohio broadly, though these concerns are by no means unique to Ohio, Nicole Kalaf-Hughes, an associate professor of political science at Bowling Green State University, explained. “I think the majority of voters are going to be looking at the economy and affordability, at fuel prices and the cost of living,” Kalaf-Hughes said. “I think a lot of people have broad economic concerns this election.” While concerns surrounding data centers may play a role in how people vote, the salience of the issue depends on the impact people experience from data centers at the local level, Kalaf-Hughes added. “There’s going to be an
